Synopsis: Set in the Victorian Era in England the play revolves around Miss Ezmerelda  Stone,  a 'middle aged' wealthy woman. Since childhood, she has turned her back on God. She has grown very bitter about anything that speaks of God, especially Christmas, since she lost her beloved father one Christmas eve and blames God for 'failing' her.  With every Christmas season, she becomes more cantankerous and mean. She hates the flurry and goodwill of Christmas shoppers. Even though she makes money off them, she detests their merry, cheerful attitudes. Her cousin Christine and employees have been praying for her, for years, and hope that this Christmas, God will do something to soften her heart.
