The Christmas Story from David Harum

In a small New England town on the eve of Christmas, the larger‑than‑life David Harum steps in with his trademark blend of wit, shrewdness, and quiet generosity. When the widowed Mrs. Cullom finds herself teetering on the brink of despair, David’s unconventional solutions—part clever financial maneuver, part heartfelt kindness—set the stage for a tale that feels both timeless and unmistakably American.

The narrative balances dry humor with genuine tenderness, introducing colorful figures such as the opportunistic Zeke Swinney and the newly independent Mary Blake. As David’s plans unfold, listeners are drawn into a warm, community‑centered story that celebrates the spirit of giving without sacrificing its realistic, sometimes bittersweet edge. The first act promises a lively mix of intrigue and compassion that will linger long after the final toast.
