Julie just moved into her new house and is PUMPED when her table gets delivered. It belonged to her grandma and it means a lot to her. Some other items that belonged to her grandma arrive too, including a box that she doesn’t have the key to open.
She’s a librarian and she always gets into incredibly personal conversations with people. She checks out a guy named Mark (if you know what I mean....the books. She checked out his books, YOU FREAKS!). He also has a daughter named Vanessa who is a BOOKWORM! When she gets home after work, she’s shocked to find out that Mark is her neighbor! She asks him over to help fix a light and she shows off her grandma’s table. She explains her dream of filling the table for Christmas. He shares his dream of giving his daughter a perfect Christmas. So they agree to help each other - he’ll help fill the table with people and she’ll help give her a perfect Christmas.
She’s out here inviting everyone to Christmas Eve dinner but people be busy, people be bailing, people suck.
She spends a ton of time with Mark. Everything from shopping together, delivering presents together, winning a turkey together. She works with his daughter on her writing. Mark and Julie go for a picnic date and end up kissingggg! It’s all very sweet. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TABLE?! WHO IS GOING TO FILL UP THE TABLE?!
Well, she has Mark and Julie and Mark’s entire family, so it’ll be fine, right? WRONG! His family gets snowed in and isn’t going to make it. But wouldn’t you know it, everyone she invited ultimately ends up coming. It’s a perfect Christmas.
She goes over to Mark’s house for Christmas breakfast and they kiss.
