This was a slow start for me, and I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it in the end. But it was worth it to get through the slow part. It ended up being a wonderful reimagining of  “A Christmas Carol,” and perfect for the season. Holly Chase was a Scrooge. The Ghosts tried to show her so she could change. The only problem is that Holly doesn’t hear a word of it and fails to mend her ways. Now, Holly is the current Ghost of Christmas Past, going through the motions of her job. Until she meets the new Scrooge, and everything could change.
