It is Christmas time, 1967. Five year old Aiden Harrison is learning about family traditions. One tradition in his family is to choose a special ornament to hang on their tree which represents something special, for them, each year. Aiden chooses the most perfect star he has ever seen, only to discover it will not fit on the tree. Little does he know, or suspect, the blessing that star will be to weary travelers on Christmas Eve, when yet another tradition is born.
