Barry Laverty, M.B., is looking forward to his first Christmas in the cozy village of Ballybucklebo, at least until he learns that his sweetheart, Patricia, might not be coming home for the holiday season. That unhappy prospect dampens his spirits somewhat, but Barry has little time to dwell on his romantic disappointments. Christmas may be drawing nigh, but there is little peace to be found on earth, specifically for a doctor plying his trade in the emerald hills and glens of rural Ireland.

Along along with his senior partner, Doctor Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly, Barry has his hands full dealing with seasonal coughs and colds, as well as the casual medical emergency. To increase the doctors’ worries, competition arrives by means of a patient-poaching new physician whose quackery threatens medical and well-being of the good people of Ballybucklebo. Can one territory support three hungry doctors? Barry has his doubts.

But the wintry days and nights are not without a few tidings of comfort and joy. Between their hectic medical practice, Rugby Club parties, and the kiddies’ Christmas Pageant, the two doctors still find a chance to play Santa Claus to a struggling single mother with a sick child rather than enough profit the bank. Snow is rare in Ulster, and so are miracles, but that doesn’t mean they never happen. . . .
