A Kindhearted Christmas

It's been five years since Jamie Monroe's husband Matt passed away. Jamie is the Cooperville Tour and Sightseeing owner/operator and an overall Cooperville, New York booster, but her Christmas routine is getting stale because Matt was the spontaneous one, thinking of especially grand acts at Christmas. Jamie's niece and best friend, newlywed social worker Kylie, has been noticing this as she and her toy-store-owner husband David are postponing their dream honeymoon in Paris to save for a house in their move to Seattle in the New Year. It is in part a comment made by Kylie about Matt and a piece Jamie notices on morning talk show "Wake Up--Upstate" co-hosted by her television crush Scott Morris, that Jamie comes up with the idea to do anonymous largely spontaneous good-Samaritan acts of Christmas cheer to channel the spirit of Matt into her Christmas routine. In the process, she meets Scott, who, in an act of selflessness himself in part to help out a colleague in giving up his usual "bachelor" Christmas tropical getaway, ends up doing field work, his latest piece on Cooperville's Secret Santa. In the process, Jamie and Scott start to fall for each other. Jamie does not want to lie to Scott about being the Secret Santa, but wants to remain anonymous which Scott, as a journalist, may not respect or understand if she tells him the truth on this centerpiece of his work.
