One family tries to have Christmas without any Chinese-made products, while another struggles with what it means to be Chinese- American. 

Imagine living a month without the ubiquitous 'Made In China' label on anything you purchase. Now imagine that month is December. One All-American family accepts this challenge from their Chinese immigrant neighbor, who moved to the US as a boy and wanted to explore the material relationship between his new home and his native one. The family chooses to remove everything made in China from their home (temporarily) while not purchasing anything new with that label for an entire holiday season. 

There is comedy and tragedy, but more than that as questions of family, success, and consumerism swirl around the idea of personal identity.
