Lisa is both a single parent and writer, and Tom is an accomplished attorney. They live the ideal life, enjoying a whirlwind passion and getting along just fine, that is, until Christmas strikes and ruins everything.
Their romance is derailed when Lisa learns that Tom enjoys the holiday season and still believes in Santa Claus, and he begins to question his choices because he, on the other hand, dislikes the festival. The couple reevaluates the direction of their partnership as a result of their different worldviews.
How do Lisa and Tom meet?
Tom and Lisa are reunited for the first time at a Fourth of July festival. When Lisa's child Ella is separated from her mother, she runs to Tom's legal aid booth.
Since Tom and Lisa get along so well, they go on a road trip next. They learn a lot about each other and become romantically involved after only five months.
What is straining Lisa and Tom's relationship?
Lisa is reluctant to write an article about her least favorite Christmas because it's coming up soon. He scans his thoughts but can't find anything promising to write about. Tom, by comparison, can't wait to experience Christmas in all its glory. He loves the holiday and everything that surrounds it. Things become strained when the couple becomes aware of this conflict in outlook.
Lisa moves on and hesitantly decides to go on a vacation adventure with Tom. She creates a jam-packed schedule of things to do in the days leading up to the event. Together, Lisa has a blast putting the finishing touches on her Christmas tree. Lisa also enjoys seeing Ella smile, everyone is having a good time.
Their bond reaches breaking point when Lisa discovers that Tom still claims to believe in Santa despite being an adult.
The drama continues as the pair talk and ponder their disagreement pitting logic against magic. Tom ignites the innocent joy of the festival to seduce his girlfriend, while Lisa works to understand the business and corporate strategies that keep Tom repeating Christmas.
The couple argue so much that they decide to separate due to their extreme differences.
Why doesn't Lisa like Christmas very much?
Thanks to her parents, Lisa doesn't enjoy Christmas. She first learned that Santa Claus was fictional when she was a little girl and saw a Christmas present hidden in a closet. His people stopped the practice of opening presents and even blamed him for causing Christmas to fail that year. He couldn't forget the episode and was devastated every Christmas after that.
Lisa still remembers the episode, even though it happened when she was very young, and it demonstrates the greatest influence caregivers have on how their children think.
What her parents did had a serious effect on Lisa. In Lisa's idea of Christmas, decorations, presents and joy have been replaced by broken promises and fruitless efforts. Then Tom appears; There is an innocent, childlike passion for Christmas. He forces Lisa to rethink her ideas about Christmas.
Ella is brought to the mall by the couple to see Santa. The incident - and the man responsible - are viewed differently by three characters. Ella is still mulling over her thoughts and hasn't made up her mind. Finally, after speaking with Tom, he decides that faith is better than no faith at all. Ella has been fascinated by the iPhone for a long time, and she hints it to Tom and her mother, so they assume she wants an iPhone that year.
Does Santa finally bring Lisa and Tom together?
As Lisa, as well as Tom, cannot come to terms with their views, their bond suffers in the process. This case highlights how important it is for individuals to accept their partner's views and perspectives without compromising their own. You don't have to convince one or convince the other to be there for each other.
Even after the couple chooses to separate, Tom stays by Ella's side. Ella wants to compete in the Christmas Sleigh Driving Contest and take home the trophy. Lisa and her boyfriend Sharon try to make things right but fail.
Ella urges Lisa to accept Tom's help. Tom abandons all his plans to stay home and build Ella's sleigh. This is an important point for Tom because it helps him put his priorities in perspective. Tom is well organized and methodical. He truly cares for Lisa and Ella and would sacrifice anything for them.
Thanks to Tom's well-built sleigh, Lisa, Tom and Ella win the competition and take home the prize. It is strong, tough and successfully completes the journey without any problems. In fact, he is on his way to victory.
How does movie end?
Tom's efforts are appreciated by Lisa and the couple eventually reconcile. Lisa can see Tom's love and care for Ella after seeing the lengths he goes to for her. He is a refreshing change in character. He does not hesitate to act according to his beliefs and do what he wants. Tom maintains a sense of playfulness, which helps him bond with Ella.
The pair agree to put aside their differences and emphasize their shared strengths. Ella seems to be the happiest among them. He finally admits what he wants for Christmas and that is for Tom and Lisa to get together. She uses the fact that Santa granted her wish as proof that it was real.
