Synopsis: These 12 delightful scenes range in tone from sweet and silly to heartfelt to poignant.

From a famous reindeer in therapy because of his nose, to a soldier sending a holiday message home, to Hanukkah struggling to find meaning in the Christmas blitz, this show can be reordered, trimmed, cut and adapted to YOUR audience.
