Christmas Star

Robert Reed gave his life for his country in the early days of World War II. His sacrifice was honored when his widow and son were presented with the Congressional Medal of Honor. Each Christmas, the final decoration Madge Reed hangs on the family’s tree is that medal. Sadly, rather than being a symbol of honor for young Jimmy Reed, the shining star represents loss, pain, and suffering.

However, a letter delivered by one of Robert’s fellow soldiers poses a mystery that puts a father’s sacrifice and faith into perspective. Not only does the letter bring new meaning to the star hanging on the Christmas tree, but it also illuminates the events of the very first Christmas.

Then, when least expected, a Christmas miracle turns a bit of holiday sadness into a joy that the boy has never known.
