A long time ago and far away--although it could be here, and it could be now--a boy threw a stone and injured a girl.

And that inspired more hate and more calls for revenge. But this time, a young girl decided to try something different...

Late one winter night, Mouse discovers new sights, smells, and tastes: sweet and sparkly cookies, jingly and glinty bells, and lots of boxy and ribbony presents. Mouse doesn''t know what any of it means, until a whiskery and jolly guest arrives with a very special holiday message.
