The spirit of Christmas heals a woodcarver’s heart in this splendid edition of a holiday classic, complete with a CD recording.
Jonathan Toomey is the best woodcarver in the valley, but he is always alone and never smiles. Early one winter’s day, a widow and her young son approach him with a gentle request -- which leads to a joyful miracle.
