Hayden Stewart’s wife, Judith, and her sisters, Carla and Beth, are worried about their parents. When she mentions this to Hayden, he casually suggests maybe the sisters could spend some time with Jack and Arlene, their parents, and squelch any arguments.
The next thing Hayden knows, Judith is planning a huge Christmas party with the whole family. This doesn’t sit well with his brothers-in-law. However, as time gets short and the party draws near, suddenly everyone is on their best behaviour. The husbands, the wives, even the kids. Everybody is being good… too good. Is it possible to be TOO good?
That’s what Jack and Arlene suspect when they arrive. Tom and Marjorie, Hayden’s parents eventually join the party. Only Marjorie can see what’s really going on as the family tries to throw A Good Old-Fashioned Big Family Christmas.

Biography
Pat Cook is an American Playwright who has published over 150 plays, many of them Christmas plays. Cook was a columnist for a local newspaper before being inspired to write plays after watching a film adaption of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple.
His first play The Boys in the Halls opened in 1968 and several plays followed over the years as a hobby. It wasn’t until he decided to invest in a computer that Cook decided to put all his eggs in the writing basket and focus full time as a playwright. Cook is still writing and publishing, and his works have been adapted into several different languages to be
performed throughout the world.
