Borison and Julia McKay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIt's the most perilous time of the year...\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDevra's family is cursed. There's simply no other explanation for the catastrophes that have tormented them every December for the last thirty odd years--a house fire from exploding string lights, severe burns from spilled hot cocoa, breakup after breakup--always in the lead-up to Christmas. So, she does what anyone with a family curse would do: She goes into hiding and scorns the holidays. But when Bradley, \"Mr. Christmas\" himself, moves in next door and ruins her perfectly un-festive space with every twinkling, shimmering, blaring decoration imaginable, Devra is certain he's been sent by the curse to upend her quiet life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBradley's days are looking up. He's one year sober, with a new home, and what better way to celebrate his fresh start than by honouring his family's tradition of extravagant holiday decorating. The only problem: His festive spirit has somehow offended his prickly new neighbour, sparking a feud that just might end in attempted snowman murder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut while Devra seems hell-bent on driving Bradley away, Bradley becomes fixated on solving the riddle that is Devra. And somewhere along the way, their over-the-fence antics spark something deeper: \u003ci\u003efeelings\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExcept \u003ci\u003ewas\u003c\/i\u003e Bradley sent by the curse?
