Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever

Throughout the story, Greg tries to avoid trouble and get his desired Christmas gift, a gaming console, but his efforts lead to chaos. After accidentally damaging the snowplow and fleeing the scene, Greg and Rowley try to retrieve their belongings from a donation box to hide their involvement, only to find themselves in a snowstorm that halts their plans. When the storm clears, Greg ventures out to recover his scarf and the stolen items, coincidentally crossing paths with Gabby, the snowplow driver. She appreciates Greg’s effort and, unaware of his involvement in the mishap, offers to take him home. During their conversation, Greg learns about Gabby’s struggles as a single mother trying to support her son Tyler. Moved by her story and feeling guilty about his own actions, Greg chooses to donate his longed-for gaming console instead of keeping it for himself. This act of kindness symbolizes his growth and understanding of what truly matters during Christmas. After Greg confesses to his family about his part in the incident, the police arrive—initially causing panic—but it turns out they are there to collect donations, not to punish him. They agree to deliver Greg’s gift to Gabby’s son, and on Christmas morning, Greg wakes up to find that he has shared in the spirit of giving. His unexpected act of kindness not only solidifies the importance of honesty and generosity, but also helps bring about a joyful and meaningful Christmas for his family. In the end, Greg’s efforts to do right and show compassion lead to a heartfelt holiday, leaving him with a valuable lesson about the true meaning of the season.
