In a drought scarred northern ranch eight miles from Beason, Mida Lee laments no real Christmas tree as her son James serves overseas. Her family crafts a Santa and gifts from paper for the boys, planning a wagon drive to deliver charity presents and spread Christmas cheer.
A family in a small town plans a festive Christmas with a homemade trick. Aunt Mary in New York handles a Santa letter, and a tall boy—James—surprises the household by arriving home just before supper, completing their holiday tree.
In a reflective moment, James expresses a wish to serve as a steady tree and worthy Santa Claus, able to bear trust, confidence, and packages of love for children, as he learns about an afternoon visit to the sheep-herders' wagon.
Grandmother Smith, in her nineties, recalls a simpler Christmas past while visiting her daughter in the North. She recounts marriage on Christmas, a hilltop cabin with dirt floor and homemade pine furniture, and a tin cup wedding present as she contrasts those days with modern holiday life.
A light note explores gift ideas for an old friend at Christmas and ponders the recurring problem of remembering last year’s present. It shifts to a brief musing on New Year resolutions as a natural follow up.
Curiosity from Jud Tunkins expresses a wish for Santa Claus to improve the drive to the house and allow saying something, a light Eve reflection from Woodalington toward Christmas Eve ambiance.
An old, celebrated artist wanders a Christmas Eve street to a rundown home of memories and hunger. A visiting old friend, arriving with Christmas cheer, buys several paintings at near maker prices, reviving the artist's spirits and underscoring that hearts stay fixed even as art shifts.
A historical directions note describes making caramel chocolates by boiling one pound brown sugar and one fourth pound shaved unsweetened chocolate with half a cup of water. Remove from heat, stir in butter and one cupful of chopped nuts, pour into a buttered pan, and cut into squares while soft.
A newspaper blurb highlights a gift idea for men featuring flat pigskin cases suitable for soft collars handkerchiefs and neckties. The item presents an old fashioned packaging approach with a focus on masculine accessories.
A fragmentary scene depicts a man noting a hanging greens bunch and a woman hedging her response as a legend about mistletoe and druid rites surfaces. The exchange builds to a kiss as the tale hints at danger and lore.
An evening Christmas dance at Trunketville town hall ends with Caroline and Stusswin leaving together. They share a tender, interrupted farewell as they drive away in a small car, conversing about old college friends and a regretful past before an oncoming car blinds Ruaswin.
A speeding car skids on ice and flips into a ditch. Russwin and Caroline are freed by passing motorists and rushed to a hospital. Doctors say Caroline is uninjured aside from a fright as Russwin vows a merry Christmas.
A lonely Christmas Day at a hospital ends with Billy finding joy when his mother arrives. The mother retrieves him from bed to share a warm, tearful reunion, content with simply being together over toys.
