At first it was just a passing fancy, but then Luise Fischbach gets serious. Christmas is approaching and everyone should come: her brother Frieder, a jack-of-all-trades and master-of-none; her sister Jasmin, who is married to a doctor into cosmetic surgery and has been face-lifted by him; and her mother Ruth, whose artistic ambitious know no end. All should bring along their husbands, wives and kids, so that the whole family can celebrate Christmas together.

Gideon, her husband, doesn’t think much of the idea, and of course the kids would prefer skiing. But Luise imposes her will to make sure that this will be a truly memorable Christmas.
