The Ghost of Christmas Chaos: Will This Family Survive the Ultimate Holiday Betrayal?
Well, well, well, it looks like the in-laws have really outdone themselves this time! After our leading lady put her foot down and refused to spend Christmas with the toxic bunch, they decided to give her hubby the ultimate holiday snub.

But our heroine isn’t letting this drama ruin her Christmas spirit. She’s starting her own traditions and making it clear that the losers are no longer welcome in her life. Now, the question on everyone’s mind is: will her husband choose his manipulative family or the woman who’s done putting up with their BS?
