John
Dale (Jeff Rose) seems to have everything, money, possessions, and a lavish
home, but he doesn’t really have everything, because what he really wants is a
good old-fashioned Christmas, which is problematic as he has no family in town.
Then
he thinks he has found a solution when he enters the Rent-All store, emblazoned
with a sign stating a “We rent anything.”
So
he asks the owner Anne Weston (Sherry Morris) if he can “rent or borrow”
Christmas.
She
asks for clarification, and he specifies that he wants five children, a wife, decorations,
a tree, a Christmas feast and a Christmas to be remembered.
Anne’s
store is struggling, so in an attempt to save the shop, she takes on the
unusual order, from the unusual man.
She
tries employing actors, but illness put paid to that, so Anne decides to play
the wife and her helper at the store Jimmy (Craig Bryant Belwood) plays the eldest
child and the orphanage provided the rest of the family.
During
Christmas, Anne discovers why he has no family, and as she tries to fulfil all of his wishes, she
ends up finding something much greater.
