Sam, a lover of the Savior and the Christmas story, goes to bed on Christmas Eve and is visited by an angel telling him the Savior will come on Christmas Day to take him home. He immediately prepares and is visited by three travelers-a soldier, a beggar, and a single mother. Sam must endure the patient waiting and test of faith as time ticks by, hoping to receive his Savior and still carry on his service tradition as in Christmas days past.
