John Dale, a middle-aged bachelor and prominent businessman in the 1900s, has a challenging job for Anne Weston, proprietor of the local rent shop.  He wants to rent a Christmas, not just with a tree and Christmas carols, but complete with a wife, a family, and all of the happiness for which he has been secretly longing.  Anne believes she has creatively solved the problem of a Christmas family by calling the actors guild, but when the young actors come down with the measles, her last hope is to turn to the local orphanage.  Still, the guild can’t locate a mother for the part, so Anne steps in at the last minute to play the role herself.  A ’rented’ Christmas soon turns into a new life for all concerned, which makes this a very warm and special holiday treat.  Beautiful medleys of popular Christmas carols along with delightful original music are the perfect accompaniment to convey the sentiment of the season.
