Identical twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield couldn't be more excited about their Christmas Eve tree-trimming party. But while Elizabeth is caught up in the spirit of the season, Jessica is caught up in her favourite subject - Jessica. When she tries to hog all the attention at the party, she winds up destroying the Christmas tree, ruining Elizabeth's night - and making a total fool herself. It's the worst Christmas Eve ever!
Jessica wakes up grumpy on what she thinks is Christmas morning . . . but she soon discovers it's Christmas Eve all over again! Jessica has a second chance to make everything go her way, but when her selfish plans backfire once more, she wakes up to another Christmas Eve . . . and another . . . and another!
Will Jessica break the spell and move on to Christmas Day, or is she doomed to spend eternity on an aweful Christmas Eve?
So was it Christams or wasn't it? Maybe - maybe yeasterday was only a dream! Jessica thought, growing excited. That's it: I dreamed the whole thing. It was just a horrible, incredibly long, and untterly realistic nightmare!
Jessica decided she would try a little test. When she saw the results, she'd know wether she was reliving history. "Mom, Dad? Do you think I could borrow a little money? I really need a new dress to wear to the party tonight." She looked around the table. Nobody jumped up and protested, "What party!" or, "It's Christmas; nothing will be open!" Jessica felt a prickle on the back of her neck.
Does this mean what I think it means? That my wish last night came true? That yesterday never really happened, and I'm getting a second chance?
Jessica grabbed a section of the newspaper. "December 24" was written at the top. It was true: It was Christmas Eve all over again!
