THE HOLLY TREE INN

 

On Christmas Eve, a traveler finds himself waiting out a snowstorm at the Holly Tree Inn.  While passing the hours for the weather to pass so his coach can continue on it's journey, the warm hearth of the inn brings his mind to roam to pass recollections, both happy and grave.  He also ponders the true meaning of his current journey and reason for his melancholy... the woman he planned on marrying is, instead going to marry his best friend.  However, the delay at the inn is about to bring him a miraculous discovery.  With a full cast, sound effects, and a majestic score by Jeffrey Gage, THE HOLLY TREE INN is the fifth Dickens Christmas story to be produced by the award winning Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air.

JIMMY AND THE STAR ANGEL

 

Jimmy and his sister Samantha are celebrating their first Christmas since the death of their father. While Samantha embraces the holiday spirit, Jimmy is filled with apathy and indifference over the season.

On Christmas Eve, after Jimmy breaks one of his father's ornaments, a strange force shrinks both he and his sister down to ornament size. On the lowest branch, they meet an Old St. Nicholas ornament who explains that the Star Angel, residing at the very top of the Christmas tree, alone has the power to return them to normal size and must do so before sunrise, when the magic that brings the ornaments to life will fade away, turning Jimmy and Samantha into ornaments as well.

With the aid of the Cookie Dough Man '66, Lighthouse, Sheriff and Pockets the tramp clown, they embark on a journey to the top of the tree.

Determined to stop them is Scrimshaw, who has vowed revenge against Jimmy for dropping him on the floor and causing him to break, only to be glued back together again, and forever banished to Empty Side.

It becomes a race against the clock to reach the top of the tree as Scrimshaw and his hideous, disfigured army from Empty Side pursue the kids and their merry gang in this holiday musical adventure for the entire family.
