What it’s about. Family is the most important thing in the world to Kaja.

Not only do these successful, beautiful, exciting people sing in a choir; they have also adopted a child – from Ethiopia!

And when Christmas comes around, it becomes evident that nothing will ever be like before – even if Kaja tries her very best.
