Summary:
Christmas shoes -- A workaholic attorney crosses paths with a young boy on Christmas Eve and rediscovers the true meaning of love, life, and the holiday season. Christmas blessing -- When a medical resident loses a patient, he moves back home with his father to rethink his career. His visit is a bittersweet one, overshadowed by memories of the mother he lost 18 years earlier on Christmas Eve. Nathan accepts a coaching position at a local elementary school where he meets Megan, a teacher, and becomes close with a young boy named Charlie. His world is turned upside down when the lives of the woman he loves and an innocent young boy are in crisis. When lives intertwine during Christmas, hope is the one unifying gift. Family comes in many forms. It's through the love of one little girl that the lives of many are brought together during what turns out to be a most joyful time of the year. A workaholic accountant overlooks Christmas, friends and his fiance until his life begins to fall apart. A chance encounter with a homeless man inspires him to start a choir at a local homeless shelter.
