Originally a screenplay.

A modern retelling of Dickens' classic Christmas story for the digital age

Strange things happen when Scrooge's laptop gets hacked!

Mrs. Cratchit has had it with her husband's boss. Bob Cratchit is a wimp, and Scrooge is a tyrant. She decides to teach him a lesson about the meaning of Christmas.

With the help of her brother Charles, a computer whiz, and Scrooge's nephew Fred, she embeds the old man's business computer with video and audio that Charles can manipulate from a van parked outside Scrooge's apartment. In this original way, the classic visits from the three spirits unfold on Scrooge's computer screen, scaring him to death.

˃˃˃ All the classic charm is here -- now reinterpreted for the computer generation

Scrooge watches a slide show of pictures from his past, takes a video visit to a homeless camp, sees home video of the joy of previous Christmases at the homes of Cratchit and his nephew. He's forced to remember lost love and shady business deals. And he is led by instant messaging to a final rendezvous in a graveyard.

All the charm and heart of the original with a new twist!
