"The Real Christmas Spirit" (Re-recorded)

24m · Classic Christmas Stories · 16 Dec 16:00

What if the true essence of Christmas could shine brighter without the glitz and glamour of extravagant parties and expensive gifts? Join us on this heartwarming adventure with the Davenport family in Cedar Hill as they face financial struggles that threaten to dampen their annual Christmas recital. But hold on - Christmas isn't cancelled! Through courage and creativity, James Jr. and his sister, Sis, teach us an invaluable lesson about the power of family, sacrifice and the genuine spirit of Christmas, showing us that joy and warmth can be found even in the simplest of celebrations.

As we continue this festive journey, your spirits are sure to be lifted by the sight of Cedar Hill's unique Christmas Eve gathering. An event that exemplifies the resilience and creativity of the Davenport family, it sees the guests arriving in festive costumes made from....newspapers and comic strips! Yes, you heard that right. We also touch upon a special Christmas tradition that has been carried on for 25 years, a gathering that serves as a reminder of unity and joy. And to top it off, we leave you with a beautiful hymn sung by the youngest Luddington, capturing the true essence of Christmas. So tune in, and let's revel in the warmth and joy of a Christmas that's truly rich in spirit.
