There's simply no other explanation for the catastrophes that have tormented them every December for the last thirty odd years--a house fire from exploding string lights, severe burns from spilled hot cocoa, breakup after breakup--always in the lead-up to Christmas. So, she does what anyone with a family curse would do: She goes into hiding and scorns the holidays. But when Bradley, \"Mr. Christmas\" himself, moves in next door and ruins her perfectly un-festive space with every twinkling, shimmering, blaring decoration imaginable, Devra is certain he's been sent by the curse to upend her quiet life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBradley's days are looking up. He's one year sober, with a new home, and what better way to celebrate his fresh start than by honouring his family's tradition of extravagant holiday decorating.
