The Christmas Spirit

Julia Dowling has an unexpected visitor early on Christmas morning; the one person that no one wants to meet. In a desperate effort to avoid his fatal embrace, Julia invites him to her Christmas party.

The next day the house is filled with bickering relatives, friends, the local priest…and Death, masquerading as a human, singing carols and drinking eggnog. With her guests oblivious to the new visitor’s real identity, Julia has to keep him entertained long enough to make him forget his original purpose, but with the inevitable tensions present in all such family gatherings, will she avoid his ultimate gaze…?
