Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Widower Tom Neil, a school counselor, recently married school coach Cindy Baer, a widow. Their respective offspring get along fairly well despite different parenting styles, but as their first Christmas with all the stepsiblings approaches, each set is desperate to respect their own seasonal traditions reminiscent of their late parents. Tom's father, retired preacher Joe Neil, and Cindy's mother-in-law from her deceased husband Dave, businesswoman Evie, each liked by both sides, hope to bridge the gap, but when that fails, Cindy returns home alone. Just that gets the kids reconsidering their pouting pact. Written by KGF Vissers |
