Hillbillies past, present and future take the stage in this version of the classic tale. Entrepreneur Mimi is the proud owner of a dress shop. Problem is, the more money she makes, the more money she wants. Greed prompts her to spend Christmas Eve at home alone, counting her day’s take instead of celebrating with her country cousins. At midnight Glenda Mae and Brenda Mae appear as the Spirits of Christmas Past. Then Fester with his ever-present axe shows up as the Spirit of Christmas Present. Finally Elkin draped in a long, black robe (the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come) reveals to Mimi what her selfish future holds – and it ain’t pretty. Materialistic Mimi wakes from her dream, wondering what in the Dickens is going on. She actually shares the gifts she’d bought for herself – a true Christmas miracle!
