Originally Aired: December 14th, 2020 (Season 6, Episode 12) Our story tonight is called City Sidewalks and it’s a story about an evening looking into shop windows filled with Holiday displays. It’s also about miracles made in gingerbread, realizing when something is good, and the hushed excitement in a theater as the movie is about to begin. Subscribe to our Premium channel.
