Eight-year-old Ricky borrows his mother’s favourite record to take to school for show-and-tell on the condition that, if it is broken, he will get no Christmas presents.

Based on a true story, Go Look in the Manger is a wonderful tale of a Christmas gone by. Colorful illustrations, new and familiar songs, and a nostalgic setting are sure to make viewing this original story a holiday tradition. To eight-year-old Ricky Meyer, the Christmas of 1966 is a wonderland filled with snowballs and manger scenes. Desperate to impress his teacher and classmates with a memorable “”show-and-tell,”” Ricky strikes a deal with his mother which jeopardizes his Christmas. When he plays “”King of the Hill”” with his best friend, the promise he made to his mother is the last thing on his mind. The promise is broken and Ricky will have to face the consequences on Christmas. But at church on Christmas Eve, Ricky hears the story of the greatest Christmas gift ever, the gift of Jesus. Find out what Ricky discovers when his forgiving mother tells him to “”go look in the manger.””
