because he is a bitter widower and doesn’t want to be reminded of the
desperately craves a Christmas tree, but her
bitter father refuses because of events from the family's past.
Things
come to a head when she wins the class Christmas Tree and brings it home and
sets it up and her father is really angry, and things are said which should
