On Christmas Eve, a boy wishes that Santa could help trim his family's tree, eat dinner with them, read to him at bedtime, deliver his gifts by helicopter, and more. There's nothing especially fresh about the familiar give-and-take between mother and child, but the watercolor and line drawings add some zip and gentle humor.
