Obligation and blood ties take Claudia Larson home every Thanksgiving to visit her family in Baltimore. A dutiful daughter always goes home for the holidays, even if she can't convince her own 15-year-old offspring to follow. Giving thanks looks like a tall order this year, in light of the downward spiral Claudia's life is taking these days. In the span of 36 hours, she manages to lose her job, her head, her coat, and her cool, even her daughter's virginity appears to be on a collision course with a teenage boy. What Claudia doesn't expect to lose this Thanksgiving is the sense of dread and loathing... of wanting to be anywhere but home with the family. <I>Home For The Holidays</I> is a human comedy that honors the timeless holiday tradition of family gatherings and reminds you why you left home.
