"This Christmas there's no place like family. For the first time in years, all the Whitfield kids have come home to spend the holiday with Ma' Dere (Loretta Devine) and her boyfriend Joe (Delroy Lindo). And each has brought plenty of baggage along with them. As the lights are hung and the tree is trimmed, secrets are revealed and ties are tested. But as their lives converge again, they join together to rediscover and celebrate the wonderful gift of family."--Container.
