When Cal (Gerald McRaney) and his niece Fern (Alison Pill) move to Bethlehem, Kentucky, they are lacking Christmas spirit. Cal must tackle the depressing job of digging the school district out of a deep financial hole while Fern is angry about yet another move, this time to the home of her eccentric grandfather (Andy Griffith). But when they meet the lovely music teacher, Lily Waite (Naomi Judd), both Cal and Fern have a change of heart. Fern begins to take an interest in music again—a passion of her late mother 's—and Cal takes an interest in Lily. Life seems perfect for everyone until Cal's job forces him to make a decision that might change everything.

A family get uprooted to a town where their grandfather lives and they really don't want to go. Yet, after their arrival, things change and everyone is almost happy about their new home and friends. 90 min. Gerald McRaney, Alison Pill, Andy Griffith & Naomi Judd...CD included with a collection of Christmas concert selections.
