Tommy Trot's Visit to Santa Claus is a charming tale about a Virginia boy from a rich family. Tommy always gets what he wants for Christmas, but comes to find that his toys don't make him happy anymore. His friend, Johnny, is not rich, and Tommy earns a visit to Santa Claus by making him a sled. Santa teaches Tommy that true happiness comes from giving, not getting.
