Full of Christmas chaos and festive fun, such as singing carols (A LOT), decorating the tree, wrapping presents (or siblings!), preparing for Santa's arrival ...and many more sweet family memories.
When Green Crayon claims that green is the only color for Christmas, the other Crayons let him know that there would be no Christmas without them either. No candy canes or Santa without Red, no snow without White, no bells or stars without Silver, and no cookies or reindeer without Tan! The Crayons agree that they all need to come together to make Christmas special.
When Santa eats so many sweet treats that he can't get back up the chimney, a family cat and dog and all the reindeer push and pull, to no avail. Finally, a mouse with a toy bulldozer provides the power needed to release St. Nick from his tight squeeze.
