Experience the journey of Rose (Bailee Michelle Johnson), an orphan who teaches the meaning of hope to all those around her especially Mr. Crampton (Edward Herrmann) who runs the orphanage, who learns the lesson of forgiveness, and the knowledge that it's never too late to change and that a kind word goes far!
I recommend you take the opportunity to share a slice of Christmas sweetened
with friendship, and oranges, in this poignant story based on a classic holiday
tale.
The Massachusetts General Court ordered a fine of five shillings for anyone who observed the day of Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas
And alone in the Croft
The owner banged his head and cussed
Our Turkey got into a fight
When he went to the Gym
But he lost and other bird
Knocked the stuffing out of him
With a successful career in the wine business, two amazing children and having married his high school sweetheart Suzie Maxwell (Jack Hourigan), Andrew Austin (Andrew May) has everything.
However, life and a
past secret quickly bring an unwelcome change and in an instant, life no longer
has the order and sweetness it once held, after Suzie falls extremely ill and
as Andrew struggles to find answers, his children Chris and Mary quietly search
for their own.
Facing a hectic
holiday season, Andrew and family retreat to their summer home on Lake Erie to
celebrate their last Christmas in peace away from the demands of the city, and
their world opens up to a moment in time they will never experience again as
their small lakeside community quickly brings them its own wonderments as this
Christmas changes the Austin family forever.
In Rome between the great Saturnalia festival and the solstice festival of Brumalia came the Festival of Infants known as Juvenalia, and the Sigallaria, or Doll Festival and the children were presented with gifts at both.
One Christmas I was given
A neurotic clockwork Teddy
And it was ready to play with
As it was wound up already.
