Yikes, I haven't even attempted it.

No, that's simply "An American Carol" (
Wikipedia.)
This one is set in a trailer park, and features a mother with three kids (Skoal, Harley, and Cheese Doodle) by three different fathers: a rock star, a semi-pro wrestler, and a paint-ball fanatic. She shops for Christmas gifts by dropping quarters into the claw machine at the local 99-cent store. The ghost of Christmas past (a high-school classmate who died young) gets drunk at a Christmas-past party. The rock star is the ghost of Christmas present. Her mother is the ghost of Christmas future. After the visitations, she reopens the hair salon she inherited from her mother, gives her nephew (the tiny Tim character, cleverly named "Tim" in the movie), gives back the Harley and engagement ring that her fiance bought her with his college fund, and does other things that show she has learned a lesson.
