Glenn Hascall once again slips into character, and it becomes Jimmy Scarecrow who is spending a very sad winter. Even Santa Claus ignores him. But wait folks there is more. Along comes a very sweet little girl with a gift for Jimmy.

In a small village, all the children gather to celebrate Christmas with a grand masquerade party. All goes well until after the party, when all of the children begin acting the part of the costumes they wear. The mayor soon discovers that the only cure for this remarkable magic is to open their hearts and accept the charitable spirit of the holidays.

Jimmy Scarecrow, feeling alone and forgotten on Christmas, is cheered up by the great kindness of Little Betsy, who makes sure that even a scarecrow gets a Christmas gift.

Ciò che rende unici i racconti di Mary E. Wilkins Freeman non sono le case infestate, i fantasmi e le misteriose presenze, che pure non mancano di tendere agguati al lettore, nascoste nell'ombra delle pagine del libro. Ciò che li rende unici nel loro genere sono le protagoniste, non fanciulle indifese in attesa di essere salvate ma donne che affrontano l'ignoto con perseveranza e determinazione.
