Synopsis

The greedy Horace Lattimer is missing his yuletide spirit...literally!  That’s right.  Horace has instructed his housekeeper to keep Holly, his Christmas spirit, locked away so he can concentrate on business matters...even if it means not being happy!  Year after year Horace has refused to even speak to or look at Holly.  But this Christmas Eve is special.  Horace’s nephew and family arrive to help the old man find many of the emotions he has locked up or forgotten.  With holiday joy and remembrances, the family also hopes to rekindle their son’s shaken faith.  Tenderly, the young boy’s "spirit" is brought back with Holly’s help.  Horace, as well, finds peace through an encounter with the spirit.  The love of the holiday season will be felt as the Spirit of Christmas is released on your stage.
