The Perksons just love Christmas-especially Mom, who starts preparing for the perfect Christmas early in the fall. Sometimes her plans are so ambitious, though, she runs out of steam before Christmas even arrives!

For Dad, the most important thing is to have the garden decorated with tons of Christmas lights to delight himself and the neighbors. But the fuses blow nearly every time he comes up with a new lights arrangement!

This year the Perksons get the last presents ready in the nick of time. But things don't play out quite as they planned. Will Christmas still come despite this year's less-than-perfect preparations?

Familjen Bjoerkell ar julmanniskor - sarskilt mamma som paboerjar foerberedelserna foer den perfekta julen redan tidigt pa hoesten. Emellanat ar planerna sa orealistiska att orken tryter.

Foer pappa ar det viktigaste att huset och garden badar i julbelysning. Elnatet blir oeverbelastat da han hanger upp nya lampor foer att gladja bade sig sjalv och grannarna.

Det ar brattom med de sista julklapparna, och allting gar inte som planerat. Barnen blandar av misstag ihop namnlapparna pa slaktingarnas julklappar. Blir det en sadan katastrof som mamma tror, eller kommer julen anda trots de ofullkomliga foerberedelserna?
