Changes

Hunter -- the new owner of the building -- checks on the few remaining tenants in the complex; he senses that Carissa and Rachel are struggling.  Accompanied by Heather, they make temporary repairs to the apartment so that Carissa and Rachel can have food and warmth.  Heather also agrees to send Rachel's letter to Santa.

Though the Kings were very charitable in meeting the needs of their city, this would be the first time that Hunter and Heather would really see first-hand the effects of poverty on others, especially after Heather reads Rachel's letter.  In it, Rachel asks for books (she loves reading) and boots (hers are too small) and, for her mother, a husband (and, if Santa can't provide one, a new laptop).

They decide they will be Santa for the family (though they can't -- they think -- do anything about getting Carissa a husband), and invite them to the company's annual Christmas party (and later to their home for Christmas dinner -- thus bringing back the family tradition).  Though reluctant, Carissa agrees, hoping if nothing else to give Rachel a memorable Christmas; it allows them to meet Eliza (the triplets' mother) along with George and Essie (the married couple who are the family's driver/handyman and cook/housekeeper) and Hayden.
