This indie feature is a witty and stylish comedy about the Fitzgeralds, a large Irish Catholic clan from New York, whose grown children and spouses and grandchildren have gathered for a holiday that turns out to be a far cry from the picture-postcard Currier & Ives Christmas anyone had in mind.

Christmas, 1998. Long Island. It’s that marvelous time of year… the wreath on the door, the ornaments on the tree, the cookies baking in the oven… This year, Peg Fitzgerald wants Christmas to be different. She has taken a drastic step — she’s thrown away the television set, leaving five grown children, four significant others, three fighting siblings, two grandchildren, and Seamus, her TV-loving husband, with nothing to do but actually act like a family for an entire holiday weekend. Welcome to Christmas at the Fitzgeralds.

Starring James Brennan, Lisa Gunn, Annette Hunt, Pete Barker, and Stuart Zagnit.
