Description: "Now that football season is over, Alex and Ava are ready to enjoy more quality time with their family ... until their parents start acting totally unfair! First they tell Ava she can't join the basketball team because she needs to focus on school, and then they refuse to let Alex throw an ugly Christmas sweater party at their house. When Coach and Mrs. Sackett decide to stay in Texas for the holidays instead of going back to the East Coast, the twins are even more bummed - what's Christmas with no snow? But the arrival of an unexpected guest on their doorstep makes them realize they have a lot to be grateful for after all ..."--Front cover inset.
