A deaf teen's Christmas meltdown becomes the most chaotic gift exchange you'll ever witness.
Dress rehearsal for the annual show runs smoothly until a disgruntled deaf girl named Meghan storms into the cafe pursued by her frustrated and furious hearing father, Jim. Meghan has just learned that, instead of spending time with her similarly deaf friends in Indianapolis, she and her family are all going to Colorado for Christmas vacation! But no one there is deaf, and she feels left out. Carlo, Mark and Rebecca offer some valuable and timely advice that results in an unusual and heartwarming Christmas gift.
