Top Echo City Newscaster Baxter Starr here, sitting around my roaring fire, sipping hot cocoa, and once again, snuggling

nice and warm in my house enjoying another Christmas Eve. I love this time of year, eating yummy cookies, enjoying my friends and family

(shhh, they are in the next room, I snuck away for a second to say hi to you), wondering just what Santa might leave me under the tree.

It really is a wonderful time of year, wouldn't you agree?

There was one Christmas, though, where things got a little crazy in Echo City. In fact, it almost happened that we lost that warm Christmas feeling altogether, and we didn't even know it was slipping away. Would you like to hear the story?

It's a good one, I promise.

This bright and cheerfully illustrated family-oriented picture book challenges the commercialization of Christmas for the 21st Century. Join Santa, NightBat and Breanna as they save Echo City's Christmas from the the latest-and-greatest MegaMall.
