A Dollhouse for Christmas
Andi Quinn is a hardworking single mother who desperately wants to do what’s best for her young daughter, Grace. Andi takes on two jobs during the holidays just to make ends meet, working as Santa’s elf during the day and a waitress by night. However, just because she plays Santa’s helper doesn’t mean that she’ll be able to give Grace what she really wants for Christmas: a new dollhouse.
As Christmas Day draws closer and closer, Andi begins to dread Christmas morning. She can’t bear to think about the look of disappointment on her daughter’s face once she realizes there aren’t any gifts for her beneath the tree. Just when Andi finally comes to terms with the fact that this year will be a sad, lonely Christmas for her small family, a kindly stranger offers to help. Will Grace be able to get her dream dollhouse after all?
