In the approach to
Christmas 1938, a lot is happening in the lives of the Bailey and Sutton
families in the town of New Bedford.
Grace Mainwaring and
her mother - the Bailey family matriarch, May Bailey - are in Europe collecting
the remains of Grace's husband, Van, who was killed in the war in Spain and Hub
Bailey (Dylan Provencher) is in the seminary at the University of Toronto.
Back in New Bedford,
Hub's mother, Honey Sutton (Laura Bruneau), is following in her son's footsteps
and is also a University of Toronto student where she is taking courses by
correspondence although she would rather take classes in person.
Honey's husband, Max
(James Carroll), has to take over many of the household duties because of
Honey's busy schedule, this in addition to his regular work as the school's
principal and the town mayor which leaves no time for his passion, writing.
Even the Christmas
pageant, which is being directed by May's daughter-in-law, Toppy Bailey (Robin
Craig), so there is more than enough going on without intrigue and a jingoistic
police presence.
But Christmas has the
last word.
