After five years of health problems that sapped her Christmas spirit, Scottsdale, Arizona, mom Marika has a clean bill of health and is determined to make this year different. With the holidays approaching, Marika, her husband, Brian, and their two daughters want to celebrate Christmas in a new home. They agree on a split-bedroom floor plan, but Brian's looking for a modern style while Marika prefers a Pueblo house that fits in with the Arizona landscape.
