Ruth Gogoll's Christmas Carol is a new twist on an old classic.

Christmas is coming and good­will and merriment fill the town. It's not the best of times for everyone however ... Company president Michaela Wittling is all work and no play and Christmas is just another day. What's all the fuss about? The lights are a waste of electricity. They all expect time off and bonuses. Humbug!

Faithful employee Ramona Benckhoff is all worry and no play. Will I keep my job? Will the boss find out I sometimes cut my hours short to go to the hospital? And, the most frightening question of them all ... Will my daughter live to see the New Year?

Michaela thinks she has it all figured out. Ramona believes she has no hope and nothing figured out. One very strange night changes everything.
