By Pam Andrews
(Approx 48 min)
“Christmas Shop Around the Corner” is a wonderful story displaying the joy of giving at Christmastime. The children of First Church are caroling in front of Stone’s Department Store much to the chagrin of Mr. Stone who has no heart for Christmas due to the recent passing of his wife. The choir, assisted by two colorful mall cops, open a “Christmas Shop Around the Corner” where they sell donated items to raise money for a choir member, Emily, who's family lost their home in a fire. Emily knew Mr. Stone’s wife and is able to rekindle his broken Christmas Spirit by sharing memories with him of his wife and her love of God. Mr. Stone’s heart is softened and much to the amazement of everyone, his Christmas Spirit is renewed.
