Nevvy, eleven, pleads for a Christmas tree he found abandoned beside a trash barrel. A confrontation with a larger boy reveals the family hardship: his father unemployed, his mother recovering in hospital, and five younger siblings awaiting a Christmas they cannot afford. The older boy asks if the siblings still believe in Santa as Nevvy explains their need for a tree.
A child asks to be Santa at Nevvy's house with a pillow suit and a window open, planning to place toys outside his door after the tree is set up. Meanwhile Clarke county records show C. W. Hendrick of Murray possibly tying a record with 56 years as township clerk, passing 80 years old.
