Inspired by the 19th Century tale by Clement Clarke Moore
A family stay at Granny's chocolate-box cottage for Christmas. The children soon discover everything that is exciting about this time of year with festive interaction, an imaginative re-telling of the classic tale and they might sneak-a-peak at the jolly chap who will visit with presents, if, they're all good boys and girls.
A wonderfully high spirited spin on an old favourite that will inspire even the most 'bah humbug' curmudgeons.
