En esta historia de rima preciosa, un niño pequeño refleja en el gasto de Navidad cada año con su abuela. De hacer decoraciones juntos para el árbol de Navidad, a beber chocolate caliente y quedarse hasta tarde hablando junto a la chimenea; el niño y su abuela crean dulces recuerdos. Cuando llega el momento de irse, y a la abuela se le ponen los ojos llorosos, el niño le asegura que ella es la mejor parte de la Navidad. "Así que cada vez que mi cara se sienta los primero copos de niece, donde quiera que esté, hacia la abuela voy. Donde siempre ha sido Navidad, y siempre sera, Navidad con la abuela es Navidad para mí."
Naughty Week... That time between Christmas and New Year’s when Santa goes on vacation and kids are allowed to be as naughty as they want to be. Or is it? For Harrison and his brother Max, it most certainly is because they found the travel itinerary that proves it.

But when Harrison takes Naughty Week too far with a literal cat burglar and hatches a plot to “fake rob” a bank, things spiral out of control. For Harrison, there’s only one person that can fix the mess he’s created: Santa Claus. In the end, Harrison learns there are always consequences for his actions.
