Christmas at Henry and Mudge''s house means cookies and carols
and presents, and the whole family gathering for a delicious
breakfast with lots of food falling on the floor for Mudge. It
may just be the best Christmas ever -- but Henry''s favorite present
is the big, lovable dog he''s had all along.
