Coming home for the holidays is something most families cherish. After this holiday, Christmas will never be the same in the Higher-Mills family. Coming from mixed backgrounds adopted siblings Smythe, Hanna, Bea, Shane, and Lonny along with their parents Pat and Samantha, will have to search for a HIGHER SPIRIT to get them through this holiday season.

Pat has been hiding this from everyone but Samantha , but wishes she would have hidden from Samantha too.

Played by B. Elise Smythe Higher-Mills Smythe is the oldest and first of the lesbian makeshift family. Smythe was adopted at age 15, and is now a college graduate with a wife of her own, Tallahassee. Being the oldest, Smyth has the “I know more” attitude of the siblings and causes the most tension with her remarks and gestures. Smythe and Tallahassee have been having marital problems, but hoped that this Christmas could be the fix; worst idea ever.

Played by Daphne Dunning
