Gloria has been busy preparing for her family's Christmas all month long. Testing cookies and sending them out. She waits for Carol, her family, Eve and hopeful Tim to arrive, and the holiday fun can begin.

Christmas used to be Timothy's favourite holiday, but this year, without his mom, he's just not sure he can celebrate. So he's been avoiding it as much as he can. But with Eve around, he's not sure if he can stay away from Christmas.

Eve has spent the last five years making her own traditions for Christmas. Five years fighting back the envy she gets watching her sister build a beautiful life with her own husband and adorable children. A well-meaning gift from her Granny is the straw that breaks her today. Between tears and memories, she sorts through the box of Christmas past and her own feelings.

Willow has never seen a sky full of stars, and Theo hasn't seen a bright blue sky full of clouds. Because they live in a world that doesn't force night owls to live like early birds. The downside is that the two groups hardly interact anymore. The night owls have a specialized dome that helps them sleep during the day. But what happens when they meet at dusk in the little Sleepy Morning Café?

Adulthood seems to pull the colour out of life sometimes and Lindsey is feeling it. She is desperate for some colour in her life.
