Breakdown
Synopsis: A CHRISTMAS MEMORY is an elegant, old-fashioned, musical celebration of a traditional Southern Christmas. A CHRISTMAS MEMORY, set in Alabama in 1933, tells the story of young Buddy who is being raised by three eccentric cousins, and their last, precious, Christmas together at home. As Buddy and Aunt Sook gather ingredients for their World Famous Christmas Fruitcake(one that will go directly to the Roosevelts in the White House!), we are drawn back into a sweetly innocent Southern world filled with a warmth and emotion that has all but disappeared.
