Holiday party trial-by-fire? Isn’t there a law against that? Newlywed Judy Banger-Canby has a secret: she's no fan of Christmas. Her “Ho-ho-ho” is more “Ho-ho-hum.” Too bad she never had that all-important “holiday” talk with new hubby Wiley "Elf-on-the-Bench" Canby before saying, “I do.” Because when it comes to celebrating Christmas, she’s a definite: “I don’t.” It’s just a party…to prove how much he loves his new wife. Judge Wiley Canby is baffled by Judy’s lukewarm reception of his brilliant idea: throwing a giant Christmas blowout to close one chapter of his life and usher in a new beginning with the woman he loves. He gets that she's never hosted a gala and his friends didn’t exactly roll out the welcome mat for her, but it’s Christmas…the season of good will. What could possibly go wrong? "A fun story, that can give you a new lease on the holidays, just when they can seem overwhelming." ~ PatternDance
