A young girl in rural Nebraska struggles lives with her widowed father and her grandmother. She struggles to convince him that they need a Christmas tree, since everyone else has one. The secret of his Scrooge attitude towards Christmas lies in the past and the death of his wife. Well, the girl brings home a Christmas tree anyway, leading to much emotional upheaval but eventually happiness and acceptance of the past. Overly sentimental and a bit depressing at times, but enough Christmas atmosphere, as well as small town and period flavor to earn a Christmastime viewing recommendation. Jason Robards is good as the father.
