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.

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.

Beth had been given a copy of her grandmother's shortbread recipe. And she can't find it, and she's panicking.
