When it snows at Christmas
In Georgia's southern part,
It means that heaven's been touched
By the goodness of a heart.

There has always been something magic about Christmas—from that very first Christmas when a new star appeared in the East to Christmases today when toys mysteriously appear in stockings and under trees, and hearts turn warm. This one-act shows a very special Christmas for Miss Annie Belle, who hasn't had a truly merry Christmas in many years. Now, running out of money, this may be her worst. She keeps wishing for a white Christmas. She's really good hearted—just a bit selfish. She is so lonely that she talks to her plants and a dilapidated old doll whose head keeps falling off. A series of strange events, aided by the poinsettia, holly plant, and the doll give Miss Annie her chance to prove the goodness of her heart.

It will amuse your audiences, and it will touch their hearts, too. The "live" holly and poinsettia plants will thrill young viewers. A touching, significant play for all ages, it is perfect for children from kindergarten through junior high.
