Chris' drive to live life big shines through everything he does, from his annual 4th of July fireworks display, starting at precisely 17:76 o'clock (6:16 p.m. to most of us), to the whimsical pet names he gives everyone he meets, to his huge get-togethers with family and friends. He is loved—really loved—and his life seems perfect. But life is precarious. When he is diagnosed with a terminal illness, Chris is forced to accept that things will never be the same and vows to make every single moment count.
Haunted by a difficult family Christmas in his past, he resolves to create meaningful new traditions by granting each of his family members a Christmas wish to remember. His urge to become a better giver touches all of them, changing their lives in ways they never could have anticipated.
Sprinkled with humor, Our Last Christmas Wish is a raw and inspiring story of hope, faith and love. Chris' resolution to live with meaning, and his determination to inspire that passion in others kindles joy and warmth in the true spirit of Christmas, enriching lives around the world as his story is shared year after year.
