What is The More the Merrier about?

Ralph's Christmas is anything but peaceful when over ten eccentric relatives, including his quirky Great-Aunt Ida and troublesome cousins, descend upon their small home. With the television broken and Mum nearing a breakdown, the festive season turns into a chaotic adventure, proving that more doesn't always mean merrier.
