With Christmas approaching, the Hawthorne family is feeling the excitement of the season. With the excitement comes some wants and wishes. Quietly within, unspoken longings are stirring in their hearts, especially for Beth and her father. Sometimes we can't have the things we wish for. Sometimes we must wait a while. And sometimes we must work extra hard to bring our wishes to reality. Christmas Longings is a gentle, feel-good story of a young family in the throes of the Christmas season in 1958.
