Humphrey the mouse takes refuge from a snowstorm in an old house that is inhabited by a teddy bear and Sir George the ghost. Sir George is fated to stay in the house forever because he can't find the key that locked the chimney and Santa can't come to visit. But Humphrey finds the key, the chimney unlocked and Santa comes down it, and gives Sir George a special Christmas gift!; A cuckoo bird comes to the North Pole to visit Santa. The bird gets the best of Santa's mean cat and gets to live in Santa's cuckoo clock.; A kindly cobbler in a mountain village fixes poor children's shoes for free. He is behind on the rent and the landlord gives him one day to pay or be evicted. That night three elves appear and give him instructions to make a special pair of boots by morning. After making the boots, the cobbler falls asleep. Later he is awakened by an elf to come and meet the wearer of the boots--Santa Claus. The cobbler refuses payment for the boots, but Santa makes him his official bootmaker and the resultant publicity lets the cobbler pay off his debts and continue to fix the shoes of the poor children for free.; Two bear cubs set their alarm clock to wake them from hibernation at Christmas.; A rabbit family has to figure out a way to make a sign large enough for Santa to see from the sky.; Sammy measures street-corner Santas to find one that will fit in his chimney.; Kathy stays up to take a photo of Santa. She falls asleep and Santa takes a photo of her instead.
