Sweet holiday book about a family from Vermont who spends a month on Jane Street in NYC selling Christmas trees, wreaths, etc. The Romp family depends on the income from these sales to provide their finances for the year. When the oldest child, Ellie, wants to do things differently, her father rebels, causing a rift between members of the family. After reflection, they all discover that giving is better than receiving. Changing things a little helped them learn.
