 The story of two young girls who are facing their first Christmas Eve without their mother, who died in an automobile accident that also took their infant sister. The girls are unable to sleep on Christmas Eve, and so they join their father where he broods by the fire. They talk of their missing mother, and how "Mommy" would have helped them to celebrate Christmas. In this way, and through time honored Christmas hymns and carols, the three relive the Christmas story. They bring Mommy closer to their hearts as well, and all are enlivened by the feeling of oneness they share with each other, with the gentle spirit of the mother, and with God.
