A comedic holiday curse-tale that blends Groundhog Day mechanics with Christmas redemption, exploring a grumpy character's forced reckoning with time and meaning through magical repetition.

A curse is placed on grinchy Chuy, who wakes up to find he's lived a full year, but is doomed to remember only Christmas Day. Every year. From now on.
