It is Christmastime, and while Renfroe's spirits are high, he is more conscious than ever of his selfish streak. With the family's worn-out Christmas tree angel--hung by Renfroe on their smokehouse door--acting as his conscience, Renfroe tries half-heartedly to curb his selfishness: Should he have split a 75-cent store credit more evenly instead of buying a 50-cent knife for himself and 25-cent one for his brother D.J.? Should he have given his lasso to three neighbors who got only an apple, an orange, and a candy bar for Christmas? Should he have given his yo-yo to Nutty, a good family friend? Renfroe didn't really enjoy the yo-yo, and Nutty got nothing but clothes for Christmas. Then, a smile from a handicapped boy redeems Renfroe. He spontaneously gives the boy his brand-new Mickey Mouse watch--\"the finest thing I've ever owned myself\"--because of the happiness it will bring to its recipient. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRenfroe's struggle to come to terms with himself is paced by the activities of everyday farm life, as well as by a hilarious Christmas pageant, an experiment to increase milk production by singing carols to the Madisons' cows, and a longing for the snow that seldom falls south of Atlanta.","brand":"University of Georgia Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47591780155543,"sku":"9780820315539","price":2608.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780820315539.webp?v=1774974493","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/renfroes-christmas-9780820315539","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
