"I laughed more at this play than I have ever laughed at any play I've read before. And I’m surprised to be saying that because I’m a tough audience. This play is a cross between Garrison Keillor and Andy of Mayberry." - Norm Foster

Dr. Sheila Shuman is a best-selling author. She’s one of the world’s leading experts on happiness. She’s known around the world by her pen name, Doctor Happy. But she’s stuck in Rosewood. On Christmas Eve. At the Elk’s Hall. In a blizzard. It’s the last place on earth she wants to be. She's not happy. No, she’s not happy at all. And she’s not the only one who’s stuck. Dianne is stuck at the Gas Bar…about to give birth. That’s okay, though, she’s got Tim there to help. He's only a teenager, but he lives on a cattle ranch, so he already knows the ropes. Christine is stuck at the Rosewood Model Railroad Club at a potluck with Brian on the worst first date ever. Things could be worse, though. At least they have meatballs and eggnog. Two sad Santas are stuck with each other. Esther is stuck at the funeral parlour with Rose...and Carl...their mutual late ex-husband. It seems everyone is stuck somewhere they don’t want to be until...suddenly...they all discover that they’re in the right place. In Rosewood. At Christmas.

"It’s a snowy Christmas Eve here in Rosewood. It’s still piling up and it’s still coming down. Hank, if you’re listening, there’s a hot rum toddy with your name on it whenever you can get here with the plow. I’m Earl. Thanks for joining us here on “Live from Earl’s Café” which is this week coming to you from the Elk’s Hall because Darlene poured bacon fat down the urinal again and we can’t get a plumber out until Thursday."
