Every year, the commanding Olive Green directs the Christmas pageant
for the Little Church in the Vale, but there is always something
missing. Trying to get it right this year, she hires the flashy
Hollywood Theater of Peace and Tidings of Great Joy Traveling Troupe
with their real feather angel wings, a band and a camel! But when a
snowstorm keeps Hollywood out, Olive’s friends convince her to create
a pageant with the church members already there.

Everyone wants in on the act, from the feuding church board members
who suddenly discover harmony to the women’s auxiliary singing tidings
of comfort and pie. There are also the people at the church seeking
shelter from the storm, but something is still missing, even with the
arrival of three wise men—Allen, Fred and George Wiseman, that is! Not
even the children’s choir joining forces with Ole Olsen’s polka band
can fill the emptiness Olive feels until a wise custodian tells her
exactly what she is missing.

The best-loved songs of Christmas and a sweet, funny story filled with
memorable characters combine to teach a gentle lesson—Christmas is not
in the flash and the feathers but in the true gift of that holy night
so long ago.
