Synopsis
The family is decorating their
tree when Daddy notices the star his father made is missing. When Billy asks
Mommy why this made Daddy sad, she tells him it's because the star was made by
his father, their Granddad, who is in Heaven. Jeffy then has a vivid dream
about Santa, and asks him in the dream to bring Granddad home from Heaven for
Christmas to make Daddy happy again. When Billy learns that Jeffy thinks this
really will happen, he is afraid that Jeffy's Christmas will be ruined, since
Santa can't do that. Mommy tries to explain why it's not possible to Jeffy
after Dolly tells her what Jeffy thinks, but he gets upset and doesn't want to
hear it. That night, he gets a visit from Santa, and Granddad.
