For Noelle Bailey, White Falls' only Christmas tree grower, Christmas is a little bit different: she is only ready to celebrate when the holiday is over and everyone has done it already. Noelle, now twenty two, has been growing since she was thirteen, and nobody knows Christmas trees like she does. But Noelle won't have any reason to celebrate at all this year if she can't turn her struggling business around. The last thing Noelle needs right now is more stress in her life.
