This is the story of how Grandpa Benny Wilson, struggling in retirement with his life and his wife, discovers that his granddaughter Shantelle doesn’t know the story of Christmas.

Through the magic of his telescope and some angelic intervention, the characters in the modern story become figures in the ancient Christmas story. 

Bumping into a series of mishaps along the way, all roads eventually lead to Bethlehem and a glorious discovery at the manger. The scene changes back to the modern story where everything hangs in the balance on whether Benny will ask for help.
