that they'll be back in plenty of time for Christmas, she and Ty (Graham
Wardle) head off on the long trek to Pike River. The job however is huge and
Jack (Shaun Johnston) and Tim (Chris Potter) end up joining them on their
rescue mission. In the process of trying

characteristic, a chance encounter with kindhearted stranger Sam (Muse Watson)

escape the incoming ice storm, Kathleen gradually opens up to the stranger

is in the midst of the Great Depression, and the Kamp family is struggling to
get by, especially since Mrs. Kamp's untimely death nearly a year ago.
Eighteen-year-old Verna does her best to take care of the family while going to
school, and seventeen-year-old Warren is anxious to work and earn money to help
the family in spite of his father's protests. But it's the younger children --
aspiring ball player Russell; Hopalong Cassidy fan Norman; and straight-talking
little Ruthie -- who struggle most with a bleak-looking future. Now, with their
mother gone and their father, William, overwhelmed by the dismal economy and
mounting doctor bills resulting from young Norman's battle with polio, the Kamp
siblings fully expect a Christmas without presents or festivities. But when
William scrapes together a dollar in coins to use only for Christmas gifts,
everything begins to change. As each member of the family comes up with a
special gift that costs little or no money to be given to another member of the
family, the Kamps soon begin to see many of their dearest wishes come true. And
just when Norman and Ruthie believe their hopes and dreams are dashed, small
miracles of service and sacrifice bring them joy and teach the true meaning of
Christmas giving. Perhaps a boy who struggles to walk can become a real cowboy
after all.

When Angels Comes to Town is the third in a series of whimsical TV-movies featuring Peter Falk as an eccentric, all-purpose guardian angel named Max. Sent to a small town in Maine just before the Christmas holidays, Max immediately gets to work on what he thinks is his current assignment: To help Sally Reid (Tammy Blanchard) earn enough money so that she can adopt her orphaned brother Jimmy (Alexander Conti). Unfortunately, it turns out that Max has goofed: Instead of Sally, he was supposed to come to the aid of Karl Hoffman (Seann Gallagher), a misguided young man who is poised to lay off the artisans working at the glass factory run by his Uncle Gregory (Mark Anthony Krupa), an East German refugee. Thus it is that Max's heavenly superior, an attractive angel named Jo (Katey Sagal), descends to earth to untangle the mess. Subsequently, however, both Max and Jo come to realize that the ultimates fates of Sally and Karl are inextricably intertwined. As was the case in the earlier A Town Without Christmas and Finding John Christmas, the cagey Max adopts several disguises in the course of his assignment, at one point showing up in drag!

The Heart
of Christmas is set in Washington, Illinois and at St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital, one of the world's premier centers for the research and treatment of
pediatric cancer and other deadly diseases in children. In The Heart of
Christmas, Megan, who has been struggling with finding time for her husband
Walt (Burgess Jenkins) and hasn't made it to one of her daughter Emma's (Brooke
Bryan) soccer games all year, has forgotten that it is Halloween until her son
Jackson (Christian Nelson, Hayden Nelson) is standing in front of her in
costume, ready to go trick-or-treating. After bargaining with Emma to take her brother
door to door in a nearby neighborhood for a few hours so she can finish a
business proposal, they race out of the house, only to find hundreds of homes
lit up for Christmas on Halloween. Confused by this scene, Megan asks neighbors
Mark (Matthew West) and Trish (Erin Bethea), who have rallied the community to
bring Christmas holiday cheer to the Locke family upon Dax's (Chris Shone, Nick
Shone) final return home from St. Jude, to explain the scene before them. Trish
hands Megan a card with Julie Locke's (Jeanne Neilson) blog information on it
and encourages Megan to read it. Before Megan is able to react, Trish sends her
away with a heartfelt warning, stating, "it will change your life."

for a Dollar - 9 PM

America
is in the midst of the Great Depression, and the Kamp family is struggling to
get by, especially since Mrs. Kamp's untimely death nearly a year ago.
Eighteen-year-old Verna does her best to take care of the family while going to
school, and seventeen-year-old Warren is anxious to work and earn money to help
the family in spite of his father's protests. But it's the younger children -- aspiring
ball player Russell; Hopalong Cassidy fan Norman; and straight-talking little
Ruthie -- who struggle most with a bleak-looking future. Now, with their mother
gone and their father, William, overwhelmed by the dismal economy and mounting
doctor bills resulting from young Norman's battle with polio, the Kamp siblings
fully expect a Christmas without presents or festivities. But when William
scrapes together a dollar in coins to use only for Christmas gifts, everything
begins to change. As each member of the family comes up with a special gift
that costs little or no money to be given to another member of the family, the
Kamps soon begin to see many of their dearest wishes come true. And just when
Norman and Ruthie believe their hopes and dreams are dashed, small miracles of
service and sacrifice bring them joy and teach the true meaning of Christmas
giving. Perhaps a boy who struggles to walk can become a real cowboy after all.
