Christmas Gift of the Swamp to the Champion Family
The Champion family shares a planned charity effort to aid neighbors by using woodland to supply coal and wood for warmth. A painting troupe helps, the mother falls ill yet finds hope, and the swamp is transformed into a sunlit, dreamlike Intervale that becomes the Christmas marvel for the family and town.
