The Star Child

THE STAR CHILD

Grandfather Albert Stewart can't find the Star of Bethlehem for his manger scene. Their children and grandchildren aren't coming for Christmas this year, so his wife, Gladys, tries to take his mind off both disappointments by asking him to tell her the Christmas story as he's done in the past for the rest of the family. Scenes interweave his storytelling with acted presentations of various scenarios.
