The Christmas Apron by Covenant Communications

The Christmas Apron, distributed by Covenant Communications is a sweet short Christmas movie about a young family during WWII struggling to make ends meet while helping out their neighbors as well when they can. Their dad is not able to serve because of an issue with his leg that requires him to use a cane. Their grandpa, however, is serving overseas and the kids miss him.

Christmas is coming, and the oldest girl would love a pair of point shoes for ballet. The second girl would love a piano, and the youngest, a boy, wants some paints. But with things being so tight, will the kids get their wishes? Grandma comes for a visit with her Christmas Apron and an inspiring story of why the apron is so important. In the past, the kids thought the apron was magical and could grant them any wish they wanted. But now that they're older, reality is setting in. They begin to realize that maybe, things being the way they are, they might not get their Christmas wishes. Still, will Grandma and her Christmas Apron be able to pull off a miracle? The movie is short and delightful, and fun for all ages.
