The town of Springfield is lovely to behold this Christmas Eve. About noon the first snow flakes began to fall and soon the air was filled with the whirling crystals came down heavily all afternoon. Now every lawn and park is white and every roof and chimney top. On Maple Street this frosty Christmas Eve every house seems to have its windows brightly aglow, every house that is except the Anderson's they're not home. At about noon Jim Anderson revolted against his family's attitude towards the Yuletide and decided that this year they should discover the joys of a simple old fashioned Christmas.
