"It's time for Bear to hibernate but he can't sleep, so his friends all band together to help"--

Bear's friends awaken him the day before Christmas and help him to stay awake as they bake fruitcakes, fill stockings, and sing carols; then, while they sleep, he prepares his own surprise.

Unhappy in his cramped, cold hole, Mortimer Mouse moves into a nativity scene thinking it is the perfect home for him, until he discovers who truly belongs there.

Dormouse hibernates and dreams of spring until spring arrives, and along with it comes his dormouse friend.

As final preparations are being made for a long-planned surprise party, Bear gets so excited he nearly ruins everything.

"I love your face, I really do! Nobody has a face like you. Your eyes, your ears, your button nose, your chubby cheeks, I just love those. You take me to my happy place. Little one, I love your face. From the top of their heads to the tip of their chins, there's no better way to let your little one know how much you love everything about them -- especially those beautiful faces!" --
