The Christmas Rocket

<p><span style=color: rgba(128 128 128 1)>This beautiful Christmas story set in Italy during the 1950s is about a potter's son who goes down the mountain with his father shortly before Christmas to sell pots vases and platters. They have high hopes of bringing home enough money for a nice Christmas dinner perhaps enough for a pair of real shoes for Dino and even a rocket for him to set off with the other boys on Christmas Eve.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(128 128 128 1)>The trip does not turn out as planned it goes from bad to worse until Dino starts home in tears. As he trudges up the mountainside something happens. Something which lights up Dino's heart and gives us a new view of the Christmas story.</span></p>
