The narrative begins with Polly Pepper, who is now a music teacher at Miss Salisbury's school. She faces the challenge of balancing her professional responsibilities with personal commitments, such as helping her student, Amy Loughead, prepare for her brother's visit. The story unfolds with the Peppers preparing for Christmas, a time filled with both joy and challenges. Phronsie, the youngest Pepper, is determined to have a Christmas tree for Baby Fisher, despite the logistical difficulties.
