Emily trades her house for two weeks with an absentminded professor who hates Christmas and then is on her way. Then Faith makes a surprise visit to Emily and is surprised instead. Heather leaves with a biker dude for Florida; Faith then hitches a ride with an acting troupe dressed as elves. Add a Pomeranian and a lobster, and hilarity ensues, as does romance in this fast-paced, lighthearted, and charming Christmas story, a tale as joyful as the season itself.
