Synopsis

The oldest of seven sisters, Ursula has followed in her mother’s footsteps as a novelist. But when she gets a case of writer’s block, she brings her notebooks and computers home to the old brothel named Paradise where they all grew up, in the hope that going home will inspire her. Since it’s Christmas, all seven sisters will be coming home too. The sisters take the holidays very seriously, and as soon as they’ve celebrated Thanksgiving, it’s on to decorating for Christmas. All of the sisters, and some helpful neighbors, pitch in to make the spirits bright, but younger sister Endora is dismayed to find some of her sisters flirting with the handsome men who’ve come to help. She’s determined to show them both that no relationship is worth the heartbreak that almost certainly comes after. But it might be Luna and Ursula who remind the family that Christmas is a magical time and finding new love is always a gift.
