With only one week between Christmas and New Year's Eve, Polly has a lot of work to prepare for a party. Does she spend all her time cleaning? Of course not. When a stranger shows up at the coffee shop claiming to be Jack's sister, Polly's protective instinct snaps into place. She's not about to let anyone hurt that young man. Not after the family has invested time bringing him out of his shell. No one will hurt that boy on her watch. Eve and Bergie Mansfield are still in town. There is so much work ahead for her. Elijah will be broken-hearted when his new best friend moves back to Wisconsin, but that is part of life. For today. Sylvie's Christmas story frustrates her friends. Sal is back in town after spending the holiday with Mark's family in Minnesota and Beryl ... well, Beryl is exactly who she is. Lighthearted, happy, ready to take care of her friends. It's only a short visit to Bellingwood, but it's worth it!
