Story Synopsis:
The Christmas Spirit is a clever retelling of " Death Takes A Holiday".
It's early Christmas morning and Death has come to take Julia Dowling
to the promised land but she's not ready to go yet and she talks him
into giving her a stay and invites him to Christmas dinner, something
she hasn't done in years. Now she has to round up the family, cook a
traditional dinner and hopefully sway Death from taking her. Enter a
broad array of characters from the grumpy older sister and henpecked
husband, her musician son who is gay and doesn't know it, his
girlfriend a rising singer hopeful, the priest and a suicide victim
that Death brings with him.
