Christmas, 2000: a blissful time when Y2K mania was gleefully recalled as a farcical 
overreaction, and Yankees fans everywhere were still reveling in the aftermath of the 
Subway Series. On the surface, there's little reason for Jim Carrelli, transplanted
New Yorker, to be so miserable. But he has dragged a lot of baggage into the new 
millennium, and it's weighing on him as heavily as Jacob Marley's chain. 
Feeling no pain during an outing to his favorite L.A. watering hole, Jim spills his guts 
revealing the source of his mounting misanthropy to his neighbor Galen, a loquacious
mysterious older gentleman with unusual tastes in automobiles and haberdashery. 
Digging past Jim's selfishness and Long Island parochialism to discover a good heart  
underneath, Galen makes him an offer of a lifetime.  
Brimming with nostalgic humor and sharp cultural commentary, 1225 Mistletoe Lane 
adds a contemporary twist to a hallowed holiday theme and reaffirms the Dickensian 
notion that we are all just "fellow passengers to the grave."
