Thanks, Julia! I thought it was a little long, but I couldn't decide what to cut to keep the idea without losing the essence. Great suggestions!

Can you be more specific about this part: "an unusual holiday and life lessons for everyone."

I want to "see" the movie in my mind when I read the logline, so the more you can give me pictures, actions, the physical side of the conflict, the easier it is for me to see it in my mind.

In my Loglines Blue Book I suggest that writers find a picture for each word in their logline - a concrete image of what you are talking about. If there is no picture for that word, that's a possible problem. A non visual word for something at the very heart of the story in a visual medium.
