Summary:
Christmas in wonderland: After finding a large sum of money in a mall that they hope will make their holiday brighter, two kids find themselves on the run from the counterfeiters who made the money and want it back! A hobo's Christmas: A man who deserted his family and lived a hobo's life for 25 years decides it's time to go home. His best friend on the road warns him that the past is best left alone, but he wants to find out for himself. His son must face the anger he feels when faced with the reappearance of the father he loved more than anyone, and the hobo must take responsibility for the pain he caused by leaving. Borrowed hearts: Sam, a businessman, has always put money first until a woman and her seven-year-old daughter enter his life. Unlike Sam, they barely have enough money to survive, but they have plenty of something he lacks: love. They help him to discover that family and loyalty are more important than wealth. The man who saved Christmas: Based on the life of A.C. Gilbert, who convinced the U.S. Congress to save his factory and keep the Christmas spirit alive.
