Christmas is the greatest achievement in human history. But when Rudy's father left home on Christmas day 30 years ago, Rudy promises to do Christmas again every day until his father returned. 30 years later, Rudy is still celebrating Christmas every day. And despite all the Christmas joy, Rudy still has no father, no future, and no friends. But Rudy is sure that Christmas brings out the best in us all. Clarice, his co-worker at the assisted living center Moonracer's, thinks Rudy is cute. Clarice is also a little quirky. Lonely and desperate for friends, Rudy fantasizes that he is cool like the guy he always sees on the train. One day, the cool guy drops his scarf and Rudy picks it up. He convinces himself the scarf magically makes him cool too so he decides to throw a Christmas party (even though it's really Valentine's Day). A chance encounter with the cool guy from the train takes Rudy on a crazy trip through his obsession with Christmas and the loss of his father - and how the greatest achievement in human history is nothing to celebrate without someone to celebrate it with.

To the folks in Conway, South Carolina, Duncan Mayor is a very cranky guy. To "my sweet girl" - his wife, Suzy - he's a doting pussycat. But Suzy is just home from the hospital and cared for 24/7 by nurse Natalie, whom Duncan tries his best to ignore. Duncan decides the best medicine Suzy could possibly have - and a Christmas present she'll never forget -- is a ride on a real Ferris wheel, set up in their own back yard. Why a Ferris wheel? Because it was while riding one many moons ago that Duncan asked Suzy to marry him. Where to find a 45-foot-high used Ferris wheel? Duncan strikes gold in an abandoned amusement park, presided over by a lonely ex-carnival worker -- Henry. Assembling the mechanical monstrosity is not exactly a one-man job. Duncan gets a crucial assist from Tommy, a former student of Suzy's, who is deeply in her debt. He's become a successful landscape designer after a troubled youth; it was Suzy who set him straight. Meanwhile, the neighbors are not amused; especially prim and proper Gayle Matthews. She's entered her garden in an upscale magazine's "Christmas Showcase" contest. The interest of the contest's judges witnessing the atrocity next door is more than Gayle can bear. Fortunately, her brother is the local sheriff - and there are zoning laws to prevent this kind of thing, aren't there?

Emily, a lawyer, returned to her small hometown of Nelson Creek four months ago following the death of her Nonna to take over running Nonna's business which she named after her granddaughter: Emily's Bakery. Beyond not seeing Nonna before she passed, Emily is not sad about this new career path as baking has always been a passion ever since Nonna took her into the kitchen at age five, and discovered in making the move back to Nelson Creek that law never really was. This new life in Nelson Creek hits a snag when she learns that Nonna was deep in debt - the massive loan which Emily didn't know was for her law education - and may have to sell some of Nonna's assets, the house where Emily now lives and/or the bakery. The house may be the more prudent item to liquidate with Forge Mart, the chain supermarket located across the street from the bakery, having just opened its own in-house bakery, it the only other made-from-scratch bakery in town as competition to Emily which lessens the market value of her own business. This decision was that of Forge Mart's new cutthroat, win-at-all-cost manager Adele Atmore. Adele has hired Gerard, a suave Frenchman who is classically trained in patisserie, he who does not see Emily as competition but rather baking comrades who can learn from each other. Emily does not view Gerard in quite the same way in the survival of the bakery her focus. Things have the potential to change when on December 1, Emily mysteriously receives an advent calendar from an anonymous giver. When Emily reads the message enclosed in day one of the calendar, Chey, her assistant, can tell by the warmth and love of the message that it is from a secret admirer, and that she should open the calendar and read the enclosed subsequent messages day by day as intended to reveal the identity of the giver, the secret admirer, on December 24. Being made privy to all the subsequent messages and trying to guess the identity of the secret admirer becomes the talk of Nelson Creek. While some men are higher in the running - such as James the banker, Eddie the civic handyman, and Chuck the Christmas tree lot guy - with some of Emily's female friends secretly hoping it not for their own reasons, it may be Gerard who has that special insight into the identity of the secret admirer.

It's the Christmas season, one year since Nicole Graham's fiancé Henry unexpectedly passed away in an accident. It has been a difficult year for her, but despite hiding away at times, she managed to come out the other end in part with the help of a wide and supportive group of friends and family. As she decides to move on with her life albeit with no set goal to move toward, she starts talking to her grandfather, affectionately called Pops, about the long time passing of Nicole's grandmother, Margaret, who was the love of his life, and how he managed to cope through his grief. To Nicole, that love must have been eternal in her mind as he never remarried. But the two biggest decisions Nicole makes are to sell what was her and Henry's toy store, the Village Toy Emporium, and to sell the house that Henry was renovating for them to move into after their wedding, the renovations which she has been advised to complete before selling and which she wants nothing personally to do with in not wanting any longer to be attached to the house. Through these processes, Nicole seemingly makes two new human connections. The first is with Joe Roberts, the carpenter who she hired to do the home renovations. And the second is the man at the other end of her cell phone. She took a play from Pops who said that he coped with Marget's passing in part by writing her letters every day to pour out his emotions, deep and mundane. Nicole's twenty-first century version of letters is to send texts to what was Henry's cell phone number. What she didn't expect was to get responses back from that person, he the recipient of Henry's old cell phone number, and who, in experiencing grief of his own, has managed to provide her with some comfort in those reply texts. The issues are if either of those two new human connections are for the long term, and if she may end up being hurt by opening herself up in both these fashions.
