A Christmas Candle

A Christmas Candle is a symbol of hope.

Ten-year-old Jake lives with his parents in the countryside, and his grandfather lives close by.

Jake encounters a snowstorm on his way to fulfil his promise to deliver some wood to his grandfather and gets lost.

Jake learns quickly about the magic of Christmas, familial love, having hope even in trouble, and the possibilities that abound when one believes with all of one’s heart.
