圣诞老人峰会

　　Single thirty-somethings Jordin, Ava, and Stella are best friends and an art, math and English teacher respectively at Garden City Collegiate. It's just before the Christmas break, and Jordin believes they have lost their mojo each for a different reason, they not having done anything exciting as friends in years. Jordin is still recovering from a break-up in the summer to her long term boyfriend Nico, and while upon reflection she isn't sure if she ever loved him, she is hurt that he has moved on in already having another girlfriend, Portia. For five years, shy Ava has pined over their fellow teacher colleague Ben without being able to tell him that she has feelings for him. And Stella still laments being transferred from the Music Department to English in she not being passionate about assigning books to her students she doesn't much like herself. To get out of their funk and spend time as friends, Jordin is able to convince them, albeit reluctantly, to do something out of their comfort zone, namely attend the Santa Summit, a big party where attendees, upwards of one thousand, dress up as Santa and party it up at different events and venues across the city. Ava is somewhat of an easy convince as she knows Ben always attends the Summit, and she hopes to run into him outside of work. Convincing Stella was already difficult enough in she having lost the spirit of Christmas, with the Summit made all the more challenging in they constantly running into a leather jacket clad Santa named Freddie, who further takes her out of her comfort zone. And Jordin has a chance meeting with a fellow Santa, Liam, they, in their connection in their few minute conversation with each other behind their Santa costumes including full beard and mustache, only knowing sparse pieces of information about the other. In accidentally losing contact with each other, each goes on a mission to locate the other in a sea of several hundred Santas not knowing the other's name or what he/she looks like behind the costume in each, without knowing how the other truly feels, believing they made a real human connection. 　　译文(2): 单身的三十多岁的乔丁，艾娃和斯特拉是最好的朋友和艺术，数学和英语教师分别在花园城市学院。就在圣诞节前夕，乔丁认为他们因为不同的原因失去了自己的魔力，他们已经多年没有做过任何令人兴奋的事情了。乔丁还在从夏天和她的长期男友尼科的分手中恢复过来，虽然经过反思，她不确定自己是否曾经爱过他，但是她很伤心，因为他已经有了另一个女朋友，波西亚。五年来，害羞的艾娃一直在思念他们的老师同事本，却不能告诉他她对他有感觉。斯特拉仍然为从音乐系转到英语系而感到惋惜，因为她对给学生分配书籍没有热情，她自己也不太喜欢自己。为了摆脱他们的恐惧，和朋友一起度过时光，乔丁能够说服他们，尽管不情愿，做一些超出他们舒适区的事情，比如参加圣诞老人峰会，一个大型聚会，参加者超过一千人，打扮成圣诞老人，在城市的不同活动和场所举行聚会。艾娃是一个比较容易说服，因为她知道本总是参加峰会，她希望在工作之外遇到他。说服 Stella 已经很困难了，因为她已经失去了圣诞节的精神，而峰会更具挑战性，因为他们不断碰到穿着皮夹克的圣诞老人 Freddie，他进一步把她带出了她的舒适区。乔丁偶然遇到了一位圣诞老人，利亚姆，他们穿着圣诞老人的服装，留着络腮胡和小胡子，在短短几分钟的交谈中，只知道关于对方的零星信息。在偶然失去联系的情况下，每个圣诞老人都在数百名圣诞老人的海洋中寻找对方，他们不知道对方的名字，也不知道对方在每个圣诞老人服装背后的样子，也不知道对方的真实感受，相信他们之间建立了真正的人类联系。 收起
