It's Christmas Eve, and Laura and her little brother Tommy are very excited. This year the family is going to spend the holiday with Aunt Martha, who has promised them a tree that glitters like a zillion stars. It looks like Christmas will be ruined, though, when their car breaks down. "We'll never get to Aunt Martha's now," cries Tommy. But Laura isn't worried because she knows the magic of Christmas is often found where you least expect it.
