With her family growing up and away from her, Cat Tinsall thinks that maybe things should be different next year, and the Tinsalls should have a Christmas away from it all. But does getting away from it all, really solve anything? And will having a newborn grandchild to deal with make or break that special day?
In the meantime Marianne and Gabriel North are coming to terms with some changes in their family life, as they face up to the demands of dealing with ageing parents, small children and a teenage son who maybe on the path to stardom. Christmas has always been that special family time, but will the next one bring them only heartache?
While for Pippa Holliday still reeling from the shock of events two years previously, some days it feels like she will never be happy again. With her two teenage sons verging on leaving home, and her special needs daughter taking up all her spare time, can Pippa find a way to make a new life for herself, or will next Christmas be as bleak as the last?
Into their lives comes an old friend in the shape of Ralph St Nicholas, who together with his nephew, Michael, reminds them all of the true meaning of the festive season.
