Bookroo's summary

In a sleepy New England village, Christmas is just another day until a new family arrives, bringing with them a unique way of celebrating. As their festive spirit spreads, the village faces a choice: embrace change or cling to old ways. Will the newcomers' holiday cheer unite the community or create a divide? Discover how one family's traditions can spark a transformation in a town that never knew it needed one.
