Her day goes from bad to worse when Kyra and Jake tell her that they also don't want to spend Christmas with her. So, she takes the huge feast she made down to the homeless shelter and gets a reminder from a special visitor at the shelter. Upon arriving back at home, Reba's foul mood improves when her loved ones plans backfire and return home to celebrate the holiday with her.
