This is a story of the love between a father and his two sons.

With the youngest boy continually sick, the three must learn to survive not only military life but the harsh Michigan winters. When their father is called away just before Christmas to fulfill a secret mission for the military, they are left in the care of an elderly housekeeper. Tiger is forced to grow up fast when Johnny experiences a near tragedy, and he turns his prayers to his favorite saint, St. Nicholas, to ask for his father’s safe return. After St. Nick pays a special visit, the outcome restores the boys’ faith and they experience the magic and true giving spirit of Christmas.
