Features a very young Jerry Mathers (Leave It To Beaver). This is a retelling of the Nativity story, starting with the family decorating a Christmas tree and the children asking for the story of Baby Jesus. The mother recounts the Annunciation to Mary and Joseph, their journey to Bethlehem due to Caesar’s decree, their inability to find lodging, and the birth of Jesus in a stable. She then describes the appearance of angels to shepherds, who then visit the newborn. The father continues the story, recounting the arrival of the Wise Men guided by a star, their encounter with King Herod, and their journey to Bethlehem to present gifts to Jesus, before an angel warns them to avoid Herod.
