Lucy just added to her credit card debt by purchasing this lovely knit dress for the holidays.  Her kind heart gets her in trouble in more ways than one. Not only is she always adopting some stray man, she thinks she needs to buy a gift for everyone she knows. You'd think she'd take a look at her father and realize even the best woman can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
