Getting into the holiday spirit is the last thing Lucas wants to do. With his parents dragging him into their divorce drama, he’s just not feeling all that festive. But that’s not exactly anything new. For Lucas, the holidays just meant less work, and he never got what all the fuss was about, especially when his family cared more about appearances than spending time together. When a friend suggests he take over planning the company Christmas party from his parents, he’s less than thrilled by the idea. Then Holly shows up with all her holiday cheer, and he finds it hard to say no. Or not be affected by her effusive joy.
With Holly’s help, Lucas realizes there’s more to Christmas than a perfectly decorated house that’s all glitz and no heart. And that the true meaning of Christmas isn’t gifts and perfection—it’s about hope, togetherness, and the quiet joy that can light up even the saddest little pine.
