About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
No stockings, no gifts, no tinsel and no tree—has Christmas been cancelled?
It's mid-December and for the fifth year in a row, there is little sign of the festive season in the Sullivan family's home. That is until a mysterious someone starts sending strange gifts to widower Henry and his two children.
First, a small-beaked and feathered face pokes its head out from between the branches of a pear tree. Before they know it, the Sullivan's home is full of boisterous animals and house guests, all demanding their attention.
The next twelve days turn the Sullivan family's lives upside down in ways they never could have imagined. And even though this Christmas will be messy, it may be just the gift their family needs.

As a bartender, Hank serves a much different customer base at his family-owned tavern, including a handful of lonely regulars and the local biker gang. When Peter scoffs that Hank has it easy compared to him, the two decide to switch jobs until Christmas Eve.
