What is Abigail and the Christmas Contest about?

Abigail is thrilled for Christmas: her cousin is visiting, there's snow, presents, and a new puppy. She's especially excited about a Christmas contest she plans to win. However, as the cousins compete, jealousy arises, threatening Abigail's joy. Through the festive chaos, 9-year-old Abigail discovers that the joy Jesus brings is everlasting, and the Nativity story becomes real in her life.
