Saving Christmas

No one loves Christmas more than high school teacher, Bob Parson. Bob loves the brightly colored decorations, the smell of his wife's gingerbread cookies wafting through the house, and walks down Main Street that sparkles with holiday cheer.But most of all, Bob loves the way Christmas spurs folks to share their blessings, something that he has discovered is sadly lacking among many of his students who consider the holiday just another way to get more 'stuff'. Since Bob is retiring this year, he is determined to share the hidden message within the brightly wrapped presents. But, there is just one hitch. The school board has banned all mention of Christmas. Not to be deterred, Bob cleverly devices a civics' assignment that asks each student to find someone in need of help and fill that need. What begins as a class project disguised as the true meaning of Christmas, quickly fans out into the town changing the lives of both young and old, including a former pastor that was wrongly accused of stealing church funds and whose silence has cost him both his church and his son.
