SLACK: A Day in the Life of Ford Aston

Ford Aston is not too picky about what he wants out of Christmas. He's not into this holiday-like at all. He doesn't do presents, or family dinners, or parties, or church.

He does pets. And he's got one lined up for Christmas Eve. In fact, it's the highlight of his day. And if he can get through drop-in visits, nosy twelve-year-olds, an inappropriate conversation with his best friend's girlfriend, dinner with a family that's not his, and a party at his mother's house-well, he might just get home in time to enjoy himself with a stranger and make it all OK.
