A “down-on-his-luck” mechanic returns on a cold Christmas Eve to his very humble home where necessities are sparse with no prospect for Christmas food or blessings. Hope for help fades as the knock on the door only brings someone in from the snow needing help with his broken-down van. Sadness and bitterness turn to joy when the family learns the true meaning of Christmas. Clear Gospel message. Suggested songs. Approx. 40 minutes. Four main speaking parts with ample space for choirs, choral readers, recitations or other additions between acts.
