Rebecca’s love for Christmas is rooted in magic and family, but when a simple request to her daughter Jane sparks a feud, it divides the family. Jane refuses to protect her son Liam’s disbelief in Santa, escalating tensions, leading Rebecca to uninvite them from Christmas.
Every year, Rebecca’s family gathers for Christmas, a time for creating lasting memories. But this year, a request to Jane—to ask Liam not to spoil the magic for her younger kids—leads to a heated argument. Jane refuses, believing Liam should be allowed to speak his truth, regardless of Emma and Noah’s belief in Santa.
The argument deepens, with Jane accusing Rebecca of prioritizing the younger kids. Rebecca, frustrated by Jane’s indifference, uninvites her and Liam. The fallout leaves the family divided. David, Rebecca’s husband, suggests she may have overreacted, but Rebecca struggles with Jane’s dismissal of her feelings.
Weeks later, Rebecca reaches out to Jane to apologize. Jane, raising Liam differently, explains her perspective—wanting him to face reality, not live in a “rose-colored” world. The conversation helps Rebecca realize her mistake, and though their relationship is still mending, she hopes next Christmas will bring more understanding and love.
