Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
Gary has been discharged from a childrens' ward just in time for Christmas. He is determined to get a tree or his friends on the ward who will be in hospital during the festive season, and asks his brother and sister to help. Together they set out to deliver a tree to the childrens' ward and we follow them through many adventures as they try to bring a tree to the hospital with no money or means of transport. Along the way the three encounter lots of adventures, as they attempt their journey by various routes and with the help (and hindrance) of a range of characters.
Beautifully played by the three children, with a few familiar faces, this is a tale of good intentions, portraying the kindness of strangers and the determination of the young, infused throughout with the true spirit of Christmas!
