Three separate stories deal with a supernatural presence helping grumpy Christmas-avoiders discover the Christmas spirit and find love. Not particularly enjoyable. The first two stories are kisses-only and frankly I found the chaotic scenes of family Christmas to be stressful rather than delightful. I also felt that there was something anti-feminist about requiring successful career women to find their true selves in a family Christmas and an implied stepping off the ladder to go back to small town life.
