BRAN’S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Michella is waiting in line for a coffee, taking a gander over her to-do list. A hot fella named Bryan is behind her and they meet cuz a kid threw a snowball at her. Her to-do list gets some whipped cream on it. IT’S A DISASTER! She goes to pick up her nephew from school and finds out that Bryan is his teacher!!! Her nephew, Danny, has a pretty serious Christmas scrapbooking project due. She offers to help him with it. But all Michella knows is order. Scrapbooks aren’t for order! So she asks Bryan if he’d be willing to help which leads to them doing all of the Christmas activities - getting a Christmas tree, going roller skating, etc. THE SPARKS ARE FLYING! But here’s the thing - he’s a traveling substitute teacher. He doesn’t actually live here. Through hanging out with Bryan, Michella learns that organization isn’t everything. So she hands off some of the office Christmas party planning to a couple of coworkers, and guess what---THEY SCREW IT UP! This is why you don’t just go with the flow!
After they take Danny to see Santa, they’ve officially checked off everything. I guess they’ll stop hanging out now. WRONG! She figures out her Christmas party thing and he goes with her to the party and she ends up telling him that she hopes he stays...for Danny.
Naturally, Danny invites Bryan to Christmas dinner. Her brother encourages Michella to go tell Bryan that SHE wants him to stay. So she goes to see him at school but overhears him talking on the phone about his next gig. He’s still leaving.
It’s time for the scrapbook presentation and Danny’s troop mom comes home. And then Michella tells Bryan that he’s what she wants for Christmas and they kissssss. They spend Christmas together.
