Inconvenient, embarrassing, and trivial. That's how Carl feels about his new wife's family tradition of sharing Christmas carols and plates of homemade goodies with lonely neighbors. It seems to him that there are so many better ways to spend an evening, so many more effective ways of helping people. Yet, as he joins with aunts, uncles, children, and grandparents to take part in this annual event, his eyes are gradually opened to the power of touching lives in simple, caring ways. A Caroling Christmas strikes a tender chord in today's busy world, bringing home the true spirit and warmth of the holiday season.
