Let's take a trip back to Tuna, Texas!

Tuna's Annual Christmas Yard Display Contest that has been won 14 times in a row by Vera Carp is now being vandalized by a mysterious "Christmas Phantom" really has Vera on edge! Bertha Bumiller's struggle to hold her family together at Christmastime, and Joe Bob Lipsey's fight to mount successfully his production of A Christmas Carol despite the town controller of the electric company threatening to turn the lights off. What else could possibly be going on in the little town of Tuna??
