They find their ideal tree on the property of the Alma Beltran and her parents, the proprietors of a century-old Christmas goods business.

The Beltrans receive a report from a consultant providing several ideas to modernize their business, which Alma, whose parents are retiring from the company at the end of the year, rebuffs.
