Synopsis
A Don't Hug Me Christmas Carol
Published by Samuel French Inc
3 Male 2 Female
It's Christmas Eve in Bunyan Bay, Minnesota and cantankerous bar owner Gunner Johnson gets in an argument with his wife, Clara
He tells her he's skipping Christmas, then storms out of the bar, goes snowmobiling across the lake, falls through the ice and goes into a coma
He comes back in his dream where he's visited by folk legend, Sven Yorgensen, who plays the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future
Sven takes Gunner (Scrooge) on a journey similar to that in Charles Dickens' classic, only it's very different
Will Gunner come out of his coma and will he find redemption with Clara at The Bunyan?
