Three stories of changed lives happening at Christmas. In the St James Affair, Eve St James has a second chance with an old flame and faces some home truths about her life style. In A Catered Affair, Marina Shields, struggling caterer, finds her business being sabotaged at the same time she is being courted by very persistent client. And in A Philadelphia Affair, Kim Winkler's secrets are exposed when she goes in pursuit of a must-have toy. All were nice holiday stories.
