Aunt Cyrilla's Christmas Basket

Aunt Cyrilla insists on bringing her big, rustic basket full of homemade treats and gifts to visit family for Christmas, despite her niece Lucy Rose’s embarrassment about its country appearance. When a heavy snowstorm traps them and other passengers on a train, Aunt Cyrilla’s basket becomes a source of comfort and joy, as she shares its contents and spreads kindness among the diverse travelers, including a wounded soldier, a struggling mother, and a shop girl. By the end of the unexpected Christmas journey, Lucy Rose learns to appreciate the basket’s true value as a symbol of generosity and community.
