David realizes that all he really wants is Jill. Jane and Brian ponder marriage. Mary confronts Merroney over the end of Hammond Transport and, possibly, the end of the Hammond family.
For some, the thirty days between Thanksgiving and New Year's can be a harrowing time at best. From tacky decor to Aunt Edna's mystery meatloaf, is it any wonder people skip the eggs and head straight for the Captain Morgan? A story that chronicles ten characters and their journeys through one particular holiday season. Guaranteed not to find any sugar plums (or figgy pudding for that matter) in this lot.
