Dear Santa plot
"Dear Santa. North Pole."
The shopaholic Crystal is presented with an ultimatum from her parents: change your irresponsible behavior before Christmas or you will not get a penny more. Crystal has no job and no romantic prospects and doesn't know what to do. Then she finds a letter from seven-year-old Olivia to Santa, asking for a new wife for her widowed father Derek. Crystal tracks them down and shows her good side by volunteering at Derek's soup kitchen. The only one standing in the way between her and her newfound happiness is Derek's jealous friend.
