Jingle Night — Jennifer Bohnhoff

Christmas is on its way, and despite Mom's attempts to eggnog and carol everyone into the holiday spirit, no one in the Anderson family is feeling it. Chloe, Hec's drama queen older sister, won't be happy until she can be the angel of death in the holiday play. Hec's younger brother Calvin is left speechless when his obnoxious puppet, Mr. Buttons suffers a tragic accident. Stevie can only remember four words from the song he must sing at the Little Leapers Preschool Pageant. And only the perfect tree and the perfect string of lights can lighten Dad's mood. In spite of being loaded down with homework, Hec and his best buddy Eddie embark on a madcap plan to save Christmas. Only a giant white bear stands in the way of his plans to convert the jingle in his pocket into presents under the tree.
