Mantle of Faith...

SHORT DESCRIPTION

MADE-FOR-TV-MOVIE: This is a little girl's account of a lifetime of family Christmas memories. With each celebration, her mother made a grand attempt to make everything special and include the true meaning of Christmas. Close to the end of her mother's life, she heard her mother talk about visitors from the other side. Family members long passed were ready and waiting to show her the true meaning of a "Hallelujah Christmas!"
