Every year, the magical Christmas Deer visits the Christmas trees growing on Faith Mountain. "I promise that your life will bring the Return of Light to the humans," he says. Then he bows his head and touches each mature tree with his starry antlers. One year, however, he pauses before Treewing, a fir tree who's too young to be harvested. The Christmas Deer touches him anyway, telling him he has a special destiny. Cut down and transported to a Christmas tree lot in the city, Treewing waits anxiously for a happy family to buy him, take him home, and love him. But this doesn't happen, and after the other trees have been sold, he's left all alone. At last, on Christmas Eve, the friendship of a young boy, a precious baseball, and a group of homeless people help Treewing understand his special role in bringing The Return of Light to those who need it most.
