Mix together a batch of fruitcakes, three dozen Christmas trees, 10,000 outdoor Christmas lights, a chicken pox epidemic, two southern spinsters, (Dorene Weltzin and Hope Vicich), an estranged old man, (Brian Keeler), a lost cat named Tutti Frutti and a Christmas hog named Buster and you’ve got the recipe for a fun filled and touching evening filled with holiday cheer. Into this world comes Jamie, (Ben Stone), a kid who has run away from home and come as far as his money will take him.
