Christmas in Cicely, AK is as different as the Tlingit legend this episode celebrates. The loneliest man in Cicely finds himself with an instant family. He wonders aloud to Chris Stevens why he can't see his son beyond the cultural differences and is told it is learned behavior...that can be unlearned. The doctor tries to trim a real Christmas tree, but cannot hang the ornaments and lights or "connect the dots". Maggie dreads the annual holiday family reunion...but finds herself with nothing to do. Shelly pines for Tradition, so Holling delivers an acapella Latin hymn. Once again, the Raven brings Light to the people of Cicely. A classic Christmas tale, outshining even Charles Dickens.
