As Christmas approaches, Amelia Hughes (Tori Anderson), a career-focused Chicago app developer, has her latest Christmas app turned down and was told that she didn’t understand Christmas and lacked holiday spirit.

Crestfallen she returns to her small former hometown of Christmas Creek to rediscover the meaning of Christmas, and if her former hometown can’t lift her sagging spirits nowhere can.

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 136

 

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat

I can’t wait till Christmas to eat some of that

Coz I’m on the Atkins diet and that’s a fact

I just hope that I don’t have a heart attack

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS

When Jack Frost is abroad

And the Thanksgiving snow falls

When we hear the first sleigh bell’s ring

Christmas isn’t far away at all

So make those lists and join the throng

Of happy shoppers down at the mall 

THERE’S NO BETTER TIME THAN CHRISTMAS

 

There’s no better time than Christmas

I’ve always believed it to be so

When we remember Christ the saviour

Born two thousand years ago

 

There’s no better time than Christmas

When we celebrate his birth

In the sanctuary of a candlelit church

We rejoice for all we’re worth

 

There’s no better time than Christmas

To look beneath ageing skin

Of any of the old souls in the season

And still find a child within

 

There’s no better time than Christmas

I’ve always believed it to be so

When we remember Christ the saviour

Born two thousand years ago

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 10

 

Twas the night before Christmas and Santa was pissed,

He was so drunk in fact he couldn’t read the list

So the toys for the nice kids never left the north pole

And they all ended up with a big piece of coal

THE VERY FIRST CHRISTMAS

 

Putting up the decorations

And trimming the Christmas tree

Writing all the cards

This year from you and me

 

Your presents are wrapped

Only bows and tags to do

Until this moment I didn’t know

Just how much I loved you

 

So, I will have a happy Christmas

With the love of my life

The very first Christmas

Since we became man and wife
