A Dog, Two Kids, A Nanny & A Loveable Con Man Unwrap The True Meaning Of Christmas. Donald "Doc" Holiday is a con man with a knack for trouble. But before he can inherit his uncle's fortune, he must convince Harriet Pendergast, the estate's straight-laced executor, that he has given up his lowlife ways to become the perfect family man, complete with a wife, kids, and even a dog. The Family Holiday is a hilarious, uplifting comedy that proves once and for all that families are lost, and found, in the heart.
