What happens

Ebbie or Miracle at Christmas: Ebbie's Story is a 1995 American television film directed by George Kaczender, written by Ed Redlich, and starring Susan Lucci in the title role. It is a gender-reversed retelling of the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, with a hard-hearted female character named Elizabeth "Ebbie" Scrooge in place of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, and the three spirits that come to visit Ebbie resemble three of her employees whom she had been overly rude towards that day. It premiered on December 4, 1995 on Lifetime Television. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
