Show Synopsis:    Mix together a batch of fruitcakes, some Christmas trees, 10,000 outdoor lights, a chicken pox epidemic, two southern spinsters, a lost cat named Tutti Frutti and a Christmas hog named Buster and you've got the recipe for a fun-filled and touching evening of holiday cheer.  Into this world comes Jamie, a kid who has run away from home and come as far as his money will take him.  At first, he thinks this town's inhabitants are "nuttier than fruitcakes" but soon he comes to admire, appreciate and adore this nutty little town.  A moving story of understanding and reconciliation, this show will leave you with a heaping helping of holiday warmth.
