Two years have passed since the death of Ed Asner in the first movie. His widow, Maureen Stapleton, is being aggressively pursued by Efrem Zimbalist, Jr, at art galleries and family gatherings. One of her daughters suspects he is really after the family company. Meanwhile, another grown daughter finds herself pregnant and contemplating an abortion. Two brothers bicker over dear old dad. Don't worry, it all gets resolved by New Years. Most of the cast is back except for Asner, who is sorely missed, most of all by the viewer. The setting has been moved from snowy Ohio to sunny New England, losing some Christmas atmosphere in the process.
