Christmas Eve poker ruse ends with surprise reunion
Mrs. Vanner plans a Christmas Eve poker night with friends but one absence, illness, and chance lead to a late night at the hotel.

The mistaken secrecy dissolves into a quiet, surprised family moment as they prepare to attend cathedral music together.
