Fir Crazy

Elise MacReynolds is no fan of Christmas. Growing up on a tree farm meant every holiday was spent selling Christmas trees on a cold street corner. But when she loses her job and her dad breaks his leg, Elise agrees to run the family tree-stand for one last season. Unfortunately for Elise, the family business that has always hosted the MacReynolds Farms tree lot has been acquired by home-decor conglomerate Brook Glen. Elise gets off on the wrong foot with surly Brook Glen CEO Gary Dixon when she almost knocks him down while unloading a big tree. Gary thinks the trees are horrible for business and sets in motion a plan to get rid of the lot for good. Despite her battles with Gary, Elise catches the holiday spirit as she helps New Yorkers--an expectant couple, a professional basketball team, to a young boy tree-picking for the first time - each pick out The One Perfect Tree. Christmas also proves to be the season for romance when charming repeat-customer Darren admits he's been buying trees simply hoping to talk to Elise. But when Gary convinces the NYFD to impound the trees and shut down the lot, Elise must find a way to crack his scrooge exterior and make up for lost time. Can Elise pull off a Christmas Eve miracle in time to save the family business? With help from her new beau, family, friends, and customers and a little holiday magic - she just might. —Elizabeth Hackett & Hilary Galanoy
