The aliens have landed! The aliens have landed! But instead
of shooting death rays, taking over the planet and carrying
off Earthwomen, they've just been standing there for months
on end, glaring like a disapproving relative. And now it's
nearly Christmas, and the commission assigned to establish
communications is at their wits' end. They've resorted to
taking the aliens to Broncos games, lighting displays, and
shopping malls, in the hope they'll respond to something!
And they do, but in a way nobody ever expected, and Meg, the
commission, and an overworked choir director find themselves
suddenly caught up in an intergalactic mess involving
Christmas carols, scented candles, seventh-grade girls,
Alvin and the Chipmunks, Meg's Aunt Judith, Victoria's
Secret, and Handel's Messiah.
