Plot Summary:
During the holidays, there is one common thread, making it home! Whether that be traveling a long distance to get home or making your home, wherever you are, feel like a home. “Making It Home” will take us on the journey of two siblings who are returning home for the holidays. One who is coming home for the first time in many years, and one who never left. Through their journey, we will experience all the intricacies of the holidays from holiday travel and shopping to family traditions, but in the end, we will be reminded of the true importance of the holidays, loving one another and making wherever we spend our holidays feel like home.
