Santa gets stuck and buried in the snow, and the only thing that can save him is a big dog--a Saint Bernard! Dogs all around send a signal in search of Bojangles the Saint Bernard.

Poor Buster the dog has been abandoned on Christmas Eve. Cold and frightened, he wanders in search of comfort. But he's chased away from every door, first by a snarling collie and then by a hissing cat. Finally he follows carolers to the home of an old man who wants a dog just as much as Buster wants a home.

A dog demonstrates the real spirit of giving at Christmas.

Betty Kowalski isn't looking forward to the holidays. She just can't seem to find Christmas in her heart. There's church, of course. But who can she bake for these days? And who would care whether or not she pulled out the Christmas decorations? Her new neighbor just adds to the problem. He's doing home improvements that don't appear to be improving much of anything. These days when Betty looks out the window, she sees a beat-up truck, a pile of junk, lots of blue tarps, and--horror of horrors--an old pink toilet. But when a mangy dog appears at her doorstep, the stage is set for Betty to learn a very important lesson about what Christmas is all about. This contemporary Christmas story is a timely yet gentle reminder that God can work miracles through something as seemingly insignificant as a little brown dog.
