Plot

Struggling with his work-life balance, a widowed father-of-two enlists the help of a professional organizer for the holiday season.

Successful professional organizer Lydia is constantly trying to grow her business, but even her ambition takes a back seat to love when she meets Robert, a frazzled widower with two young children. A toy inventor, Robert is asked to present his new Christmas toy line to a superstore. His challenge is that he has only 12 days to get his business and his life in order. Talk about a Christmas rush. Lydia shows Robert that this task goes way deeper than messy junk drawers; it encompasses every aspect of his life. While she's intent on helping him straighten out details he had long ignored, Robert teaches the buttoned-up Lydia that messiness can be a delightful part of life.—AnonymousB

Christmas is the busiest time of the year for Trent Brothers Toys, a small family company comprised of George Trent, the salesman, and Robert Trent, the creative mastermind. But it's also a difficult time for easily distracted widowed Robert who has trouble finding the proper work/life balance. This year, George has committed Robert into hosting a dinner a few days before Christmas for retail giant Lawrence Hennessey, who they are trying to convince to stock their toys to sell in his stores. In Robert and his team developing the toys they will pitch to Hennessey, Robert has missed one too many of daughter Amelia and son Thomas' activities, the former already nervous enough in performing in the school Christmas pageant. So when Amelia tells him that it was all right that he missed just the latest of her events in she knowing how busy he is and that he truly does love her and Thomas, Robert knows he has to do something to change. So he hires professional organizer Lydia Evans to help him organize not only his life but everything that needs to be accomplished this Christmas season, she who he met by chance a few days earlier. As Lydia helps Robert accomplish his goals this Christmas, most importantly so that he can spend more time with Amelia and Thomas, and the two spend almost every day together in the few weeks leading up to Amelia's pageant and the pitch dinner, Lydia and Robert start to fall for each other. The question then becomes whether they can overcome their inherent differences in he having some chaos in his life and she needing that sense of order.—Huggo
