Film Description: A FAMILY X-MAS is a story about Johnny Guccianno (Robert Costanzo), a mob boss, who accidentally wakes up one Christmas Eve to a strange noise in his living room. He gets up at his Wife’s, (Mindy Burbano) urging, throws on his bathrobe and heads downstairs. After all, it could be a hit man come to “whack” him.

Johnny starts a game of cat and mouse that can have deadly implications when he uncovers an uninvited visitor dressed in a red suit with a red hat, black boots and a long white beard. Is it a hit man? Or just someone in the wrong place at the wrong time?

It doesn’t take Johnny long to get the better of the intruder and before you can say “Hoboken,” he has Santa Claus, (John Capodice), tied to a chair with tinsel.

At first Johnny doesn’t believe in Santa Claus, but after some convincing he realizes he’s captured the real Saint Nick. Unfortunately, Johnny was never big on Christmas and Santa has to do all he can to stay in the game.
