Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

In a charming tale about the spirit of Christmas giving, Nigel Playfayre (Peter Chelsom) is a callous investment manager somewhere in the middle cogs of a bank who is charged with delivering the Christmas turkey to an impoverished London family. On his reluctant way to fulfill his onerous obligation, he loses the address. From there on in, the story is of Nigel's slowly changing attitude as he meets one hardship case after another, searching for his destination in a low-income housing project. Meanwhile, the boy who finds the address has his own story to tell. And who is that couple riding around on a donkey, looking for an inn that will give them shelter on this Christmas Eve?
