It's Christmas time and Dot and Ada are finishing the decorating of the house. Dot's granddaughter Molly calls and won't we making it home for Christmas because her plane is having mechanical difficulties. Although Dot is sad, she has to keep going as she's the writer and director of the church nativity play.
The play is starring Dot, Ada, Frank, and Josh but the problem is none of them really know how to perform. Mistakes are plentiful, jokes are abounding, and the laughter is non stop! As if this is not enough, back at the house Santa shows up to deliver the gifts but takes a short break to drink some of the previously spiked egg nog. When he falls asleep, Dot and Ada are working over time to save Christmas! Will they get Santa awake and moving to deliver the rest of the presents in time or will the time tick away until Christmas Day? This Christmas Caper will keep your attention right until the end.
