Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) has returned from the States to live in the charming village of Letherby and work in a gift shop. Life is good, especially now that Becky takes time every day for mindfulness ... which actually means listening to a meditation tape while shopping online. When Becky's parents ask her to host Christmas this year, what could possibly go wrong - besides menu and gift demands and the appearance of an old boyfriend? But as the countdown to Christmas begins and her big-hearted plans take an unexpected turn toward disaster, Becky starts to wonder if chaos will ensue, of if she'll manage to bring comfort and joy to Christmas after all.
