Summary

"Jimsy: The Christmas Kid" by Leona Dalrymple is a touching story set in early 1900s New England about a homeless boy named Jimsy who spends Christmas with the Sawyer family. The story shows Jimsy's infectious joy as he arrives to a somber home where Christmas is barely celebrated, and his cheerful attitude shakes up their usual customs. Initially met with the coldness of Abner Sawyer, Jimsy's pure love for the holiday gradually melts Abner's heart, alongside establishing a heartfelt connection with Aunt Judith. Through charming interactions, Jimsy's presence leads to a transformation, reminding them all about the core values of Christmas: love, kindness, and the significance of family.
