A chaotic, mildly melancholy holiday scramble where well-meaning mischief and family stress mix with broad, sometimes crude comedy.

Who will clean up, decorate and buy Christmas presents? And above all, where will the money come from?
How it feels: Warm, melancholic, absurd and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
