Then one day the Christmas tree lot is visited by a very cute guy whose smile brings out a dimple. Sierra tells Heather that this may be their last year for the Christmas tree stand. But Sierra does not want to hurt some guy by dumping him right after Christmas when her family leaves. She finds her boyfriend, Devon, boring and plans to dump him after Christmas. Heather tries to convince Sierra to date someone for the month that she is in California so she has someone to double date with. Besides Sierra feels it would not be worth it to date someone for the short time she's in California, only to have to leave Christmas morning.Īfter their traditional Thanksgiving dinner with Heather's family the two girls head up to Cardinal's Peak to check on the Christmas trees they've planted over the past six years. This has made things awkward between them.
However, Sierra refused telling him she wasn't allowed to date anyone who worked for her father. Andrew, one of the young guys her father employs, asked Sierra out last year. At the tree lot Sierra settles into their cramped trailer. The day before Thanksgiving Sierra and her mom drive down to California to meet up with her dad.
So traveling to California means Sierra will at least have a friend to connect with. Heather's family lived next door to Sierra's grandparents on her mom's side and when they would visit her mom's family the two girls quickly became friends. In California Sierra has a best friend too. Instead, Sierra's family might have to close the stand for the last time this year and sell to those vendors next year. Sierra's family have selling trees at their lot for over twenty-five years but competition from supermarkets and other retailers who now sell trees has cut into their profits. From the time she was a year old, Sierra has accompanied her parents to California. Their family's Christmas tree business was started by her father's father and her parents met on the lot because her mom's family were annual customers. From Thanksgiving until Christmas, Sierra and her parents live out of a trailer, selling the trees they grow on their farm in Oregon. Every year it means temporarily leaving behind her life and friends, Rachel and Elizabeth in Oregon for one month. Every year on the Thanksgiving break, Sierra and her parents make the journey to California to set up their Christmas tree stand in a small town three hours south of San Francisco. Sierra's family runs a Christmas tree farm in Oregon.
