In this modern incarnation of the song, four grown siblings and their own families make their way to Grandma and Grandpa's house for Thanksgiving. They start on different modes of transportation, but obstacles lead to them all arriving in the same horse-drawn sleigh. Lively illustrations depict a genial, diverse family. Verses can be sung to the traditional tune; music not included.
