Synopsis:

Home For The Holidays is a romantic comedy that honors the timeless tradition of family get-togethers, and reminds you why you left home.

Obligation and blood ties take Claudia Larson (Holly Hunter) home every Thanksgiving to visit her family in Baltimore. A dutiful daughter always goes home for the holidays, even if she can’t convince her own 15 year old offspring to follow.

Giving thanks looks like a tall order this year, in the light of the downward spiral Claudia’s life is taking these days. In the span of 36 hours, she manages to lose her job, her head, her coat, and her cool. Even her daughter’s virginity appears to be on a collision course with a teenage boy. What Claudia doesn’t expect to lose this Thanksgiving is the sense of dread and loathing… of wanting to be anywhere but home with her family.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
