Ethan Claymore, a reclusive artist and struggling egg farmer, has given up looking for love or laughter... even with Christmas just a week away. Much to his surprise, Ethan is visited by the spirit of his long-estranged older brother, who - along with an enthusiastically meddlesome neighbor and the town's pretty, new school teacher - is determined to bring the sparkle back into Ethan's life. This is a perfectly uplifting Christmas story to kick off the holiday season.
