Christmas was in the air! However, Adam, a young doctor, was struggling with an illness. Specifically, love-sickness. He had long wanted to ask Evelyn, a local schoolteacher, to court him. Which was alright, since Evelyn had long dreamed of the day when he would summon up the courage to ask her. However, Adam was much too shy to make the first move. Anxious to see these two fine folks get it together, Simon, a local farmer, tried his hand as a matchmaker. For a while it seemed that these two people would be brought together through his homespun wisdom. However, at the very moment of triumph, a tribe of vigilant citizens revealed a sordid secret that sent everything crashing down. Literally. Would this Christmas be a happy one...for anyone in Gladstone?

When Santa's reindeer fall foul of the common cold, it's down to Blitzen to take a rag tag bunch of Llamas and whip them into shape to save Christmas for all the boys and girls of the world. The Day The Llamas Saved Christmas is a seasonal tale following the unexpected occurrence of an outbreak of the common cold in the North Pole and the resulting lack of reindeer to pull Santa's sleigh one Christmas. Beginning with an Elf, barging into Santa's office- most perturbed and informing Santa that the vast majority of his team are laid low with the sniffles, Santa rushes to his friend's sides, only to hear sneezing and coughing, resulting in the drafting of a substitute reindeer- Gerald (an over-eager youngster) to replace the stalwart Dasher and the rest of the 'deer having to make do and try their hardest to make the entire journey around the world in one night.
