Besides being good friends, they're each other's backup in times of domestic chaos, which, with four preschoolers between them, is most of the time!

To top it off, Travis's little girls have decided they want a mommy for Christmas. And they want the whole town, including Holly, to help them find the perfect mate. Can Holly watch the man she's come to depend on date other women? Can Travis sit back and watch Holly's ex reenter her life? Could it be that the perfect holiday solution lies right next door—for both of them?
