The family tries to calm them down and tells them that they will talk more about the dry cleaners when the whole family is together, Later that evening the oldest son Quentin arrives to see his family.

 Shirley Ann is elated to see Quentin, he starts talking with his family and then Joe appears into the room and he becomes distant and cold towards him and a little rude. He doesn't like Joe at this moment in time, when you watch the movie you will see that changes later in the movie.

In the kitchen Mel and Devan are talking she tells him that Senior left their family and became a musician. Quentin finds Joe later in the evening and he makes a threat to him,Joe leaves Quentin alone and Quentin plays the piano that Senior played in the garage.

Claude is attempting to sneak off to a club and the rest of the family sees what he is doing so they sneak off with him and join him, they see that Baby is singing at the club and is astonished to see that he can sing. 

Kelli and Gerald meet, they have an Instant connection with one another. Claude loses his temper with two guys who attempt to hit on his wife that his family doesn't know about yet her name is Sandi, he pulls out a gun causing the family to leave the scene at the club.

They make it back to the house baby is talking with his family and telling them to keep his singing a secret until he can tell his mom himself about his singing. 

The next day the guys are off looking for a christmas tree. The ladies are wrapping presents and Kelli confesses that she slept with Gerald. Mel tells Kelli to enjoy her little fling that she is having, Lisa chides her for being reckless.

 Lisa is becoming suspicious of her husband Malcolm who has to leave because of some problems at his job. Lisa then comes home with two Mo, and Dude, they are bookies who are owed money by Quentin. They want to beat him up until they see a police car nearby.

Gerald arrives at the house and he sleeps over with Kelli, Baby gives Quentin a christmas gift a scrapbook of christmas pictures before he has to go, Baby finally confesses to his mother that he wants to be a singer, she doesn't want to listen to any of that.

You will have to watch the rest of the movie to find out what happens with the Whtifield family, It is a very happy ending for everyone! You will enjoy the movie.

 It has a lot of good music in the movie and you can sing along with the songs that they play in the movie. It has a few dramatic scenes, some scenes that will make you laugh, and some scenes that will probably surprise you and keep you on the edge of your seat. 

I decided to write about this movie because it seems to be a movie that a lot of people are familiar with and like, A few of my favorite actors and Actresses are in this movie,  It also reminds me of my family when we all get together for an occasion or celebration and have a good time together.  

Family is always there for you and will always be by your side whenever you need them. I love my family very much, they are very protective of me and all love and care for me very much. 

They always put a smile on my face, I created a group text with my family and they all use it and it is a way to connect with one another even when we don't see each other in person . I have a wonderful Church family, they are all so loving and kind and have wonderful and amazing hearts, they always welcome you with open arms and make you feel right at home when you arrive at the church.

My favorite scene from the movie is when they have the Dance line, and the whole family take turns and go down the line one at a time and having a wonderful time with each other laughing and smiling. 

I love dancing, during that scene they do the bump with one another that made me laugh and smile I imagined doing the bump in my head! It is a good movie to watch and enjoy when you want to have a good laugh and something to brighten your day and make you happy! 

I also love singing like the character Baby Micheal from the movie, Singing brings so much joy and happiness to my Heart and spirit. 

I sang in Chorus for 4 years in High School and it was the best 4 years of my life and something that I will always treasure and people have complimented my singing voice and said I have a beautiful Voice! 

And one of my good friends from church said that I can really sing! That made me smile! Whenever you all have a chance check out This Christmas you will love it!
