A small town falls on hard times and through much persuasion, decides to skip Christmas. A lone woman finds that her small nephew, now orphaned, is coming to live with her on Christmas Eve. The town decides to do things to welcome him that are 'not really for Christmas.' But of course the spirit of love and brotherhood shines through as Christmas softens hearts and is reborn in this tiny village.
