A Christmas Oath — Vicki Hopkins
Christmas should be a time of peace on earth and goodwill toward men, but it isn't for Elizabeth Dutton. When Francis Oldman breaks their engagement, giving her no reason as to why, she sues him for breach of promise of marriage. The jury finds in her favor, and she is awarded £1,000 for damages suffered â€" the price of her broken heart.
Three months later, while still pining over a lost love, the annual invitation to the Darley's Christmas Eve party arrives. Elizabeth decides that a new dress and a bit of Christmas spirit might cheer her up. What she hoped would be a pleasant evening, turns into one disaster after another, especially when Francis Oldman walks through the door.
Nevertheless, Christmas wouldn't be complete without gifts. Before morning arrives, Elizabeth receives the gift of clarity, and Francis discovers that sacrifice can bring miracles.
