Summary:

Theodora is the matriarch of a family that has grown into "an insufferable bunch of truculent knuckleheads." While she's finally gotten them all together in South Carolina to celebrate, this Christmas looks nothing like the extravagant homey holidays of her childhood. Luckily someone shows up to help Theodora with pockets full of common sense and Gullah magic to make Theodora's Christmas the miracle it's meant to be. -- Publisher.
