"This Christmas,
Stickler knew just what to give everyone.
With its sack of presents, Stickler climbed
on Judy and was off.
All about, snowflakes fell - light, fluffy
and beautiful.
You know the kind."
Judy, a reindeer, and Stickler set off in gentle snowfall to find friends and offer perfect presents for the holiday season. They stop first at Nana's house, where her grand-rabbit is hopping around in the snow. Nana patiently watches. The first present (a stick) goes to Rabbit. Rabbit considers it to be just what is needed.
On they walk until they meet Crow who is building a snowman. Stickler knows that an Idea stick is needed here, and it works perfectly for Crow and the snowman. Upon meeting Partridge in a nearby pear tree, Stickler provides a gift to help Partridge remember the song's words. Partridge is confused, and wants to know which song.
As lights twinkle in front of them, Stickler and Judy move on. Doug-the-Fir is resplendent in glowing illumination. Unhappy with his predicament and not wanting to be a Christmas tree, Stickler reminds that Doug is sure to be the center of attention later in the day. Doug admits to being shy and not wanting to garner that attention.
"Hmm, let me think about your special
problem and come back tonight with a
special solution," said Stickler.
Stickler's solution is another proper present. Bravo!
