And What Did You Get for Christmas?

Christmas, a time of giving. How exciting a prospect! To receive the unexpected, and to give more than just material things, because what counts is the idea, of course. And giving some part of yourself, now that’s some idea, because what is there to lose?

The morning of Christmas Eve, a young American doctor and his family are on their way to the airport, leaving the third world for home, where the heart is. Unexpectedly, they find themselves at street level, and dealing with the needs of the destitute. A new life is delivered unto the world. The mother and baby are taken care of, but there is another child already, and he would be left to find his own way. The true spirit of Christmas enters upon the scene, and brings with it a rethink, a re-evaluation of personal motives. The family of privileged first-world citizens is now under a different set of stars, and for the first time, they come to see themselves in a new light of reality.
