Be careful what you wish for....

Hotel sales manager Clara Jenkins has an opportunity to take over as general manager of her hotel. There’s just one problem: she’s asked to shadow her boss for a year, and her boss happens to be her ex. Clara’s not so sure about working in close quarters with him for that length of time. But her job opportunity isn’t the only major hurdle this year. At dinner the next night, her new boyfriend, Air Force pilot Brent McNally, drops the bomb that he’s being deployed on short notice for an entire year.

While rummaging through her grandmother’s box of Christmas decorations, she finds an old pocket–watch style ornament and, holding it, wishes she could skip the entire year. The next day, when she arrives at the airfield to see Brent off, to her utter confusion, it soon becomes apparent that she may have skipped a year, and she’s waiting for him to return, not waving him off. Also, Brent—her brand–new boyfriend—goes down on one knee and proposes.

A heartwarming romance that will whisk you away to a place where wishes take form. It’s sure to have you reaching for your fuzzy socks and hot cocoa long after the holidays.
