Theodore's Plate - Synopsis:  In the heart of the forest, a poor family dwells in a simple cottage. One Christmas Eve, a Traveler knocks on their door. The Father opens the door to find a man who is battered by snow and chilled by the cold. He invites the Traveler into the cottage and seats him by the roaring fire. What the Father and the Family do not know is that this is a special guest. And that a simple act of generosity will make this the most wonderful Christmas of all!
