It’s Christmas Eve in a small west Texas town, and cantankerous barbecue joint owner Buford Johnson gets in an argument with his wife Darla, tells her he’s skipping Christmas, storms out of the restaurant, goes four-wheeling in his pickup, gets hit by a twister, and rolls his truck. Now in a coma, Bufford is visited by ex-business partner, Hank Walker, who plays the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future. Hank takes Buford on a Christmas Carol journey, only Texas-style.
