description: An old bushel basket is removed from a cellar storeroom and then, after restoration and redecoration, is sent from family to family in Mrs. Carey's neighborhood. It has a subtle positive effect on the ten families who donate small gifts to help cheer up 90-year old Cy Malik, who is faced with the prospect of a lonely and sad Christmas. The narrative is augmented by the verse of K. A. Best to suggest that the Basket also travels to Bethlehem to be be present at the birth of the Christ Child.
