In the TV movie I’m Not Ready for Christmas, a little girl named Anna makes a wish and tells it to Santa Claus. When her wish comes true, Anna’s Aunt Holly (Alicia Witt) suddenly cannot tell a lie. Holly is forced to tell the truth at all times — at work and while dating. Her inability to tell white lies throws Holly’s life for a loop but her new candor also wins the heart of nice guy Drew (George Stults).
