Verrückte Weihnachten (2004)
Luther Krank hat von Weihnachten die Nase gestrichen voll. Besonders der Kommerz rund um das Fest der Liebe geht ihm schon lange mächtig auf die Nerven. Doch seiner Tochter Blair zuliebe hat sich Luther davon bislang noch nie etwas anmerken lassen und sich stets bemüht, ihr zusammen mit seiner Frau Nora das perfekte Weihnachtsfest zu bereiten. Als Blair ankündigt, die Weihnachtsfeiertage diesmal nicht zu Hause zu verbringen, sieht Luther endlich seine große Chance gekommen: Für ihn und seine Frau soll Weihnachten in diesem Jahr ausfallen! Kein Baum. Keine Geschenke. Kein Schneemann. Dafür Sonne satt und Karibik pur. Doch so leicht können die Kranks dem Weihnachtswahnsinn nicht entkommen: Denn plötzlich entscheidet sich Blair, an den Feiertagen doch noch nach Hause zu kommen. Luther und Nora bleiben gerade mal 24 Stunden Zeit, ihr Haus festlich zu dekorieren und müssen somit ihr ganz persönliches Weihnachtswunder vollbringen.
