On a stormy Christmas Eve, in a field of horses, Rebecca's Grandfather Tom works to save a freezing pony. After all of his attempts fail, Grandfather Tom learns a valuable lesson from the old pony. This snowy evening will forever change the heart and soul of Grandfather Tom.
Mint’s Christmas Message brings together the secular aspects of Christmas—gifts, decorations, and Santa hats—with the story of Christ’s birth. It is a beautifully illustrated parable that will help children and adults put these things into perspective.
