Peace and goodwill are very thin on the ground when Kerry and Missy's parents' marriage explode on Christmas Day. The kids are farmed out to their Grans' homes: one a peaceful country home which ceases to be peaceful when the kids arrive and one a city apartment overflowing with a dachshund and Ga-ga's many beaux! Meanwhile, Mum is courted by her lawyer, who is the epitome of virtue and Dad blindly courts a man-mad, social climbing fashion magazine editor. But all ends well when the kids take a hand in organising their parents' lives to their satisfaction!
