Therefore, Kate and the Sharpe family wind up staying on Christmas Island. This location is known for its holiday spirit. At this point, Kate is still trying to impress the family enough to hire her. Now, she is encouraging them to participate in some of the local holiday festivities. Unfortunately, the people in charge of these festivities are Oliver and his family. There is no way that she can avoid him during this forced travel stop.

Along with Oliver, Kate introduces the Sharpes with the Lobster Trap Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony. This is done to honor fallen local fishermen.

Through their experiences on Christmas Island, can Kate’s efforts–aided by Oliver and the local traditions–help bring the holiday spirit to the Sharpes and perhaps discover for Kate that romance can be found in unexpected places?
