Christmas is a time of togetherness, acceptance. A time to forget about our differences and break bread, with cherished loved ones and new acquaintances alike. We are all family at Christmas. So, it is in that spirit that we present this tale of a square peg being welcomed to the family table. All of the characters are revealed to be flawed, and we learn that the greatest gift of all is to be true to one's self.
