Finding themselves alone on Christmas, the Davenport sisters are expected to obey strict puritanical devotions. But this year, flame-haired Gillian decides it’s high time she and her younger sister enjoyed themselves a bit. With the help of a kindly relation, the two daring misses exchange their usual somber attire for modish gowns and hairstyles that would surely have given their parents apoplexy! With plum pudding, eggnog, carols, and a most breathtaking tree, the Davenport sisters revel in their Christmas celebrations, as well as the selection of handsome gentlemen who arrive to for the festivities. And when Gillian is caught under the mistletoe by Lord Ranger Marden, she discovers things her mother had never dreamed of telling her . . .
