Summary: It’s Christmas eve and Father Christmas and the reindeers are back home, tired after having delivered presents all day. Then Father Christmas discovers that there is one present left in his sack, the present for a small, poor boy, Harvey Slumfenburger, who lives in a hut far away at the top of Roly Poly Mountain. His reindeers are asleep, and one of them is not feeling very well. Father Christmas sets off on foot, but it is very far to walk. On his way, he receives help from many people like a man with an aeroplane, a boy with a motorbike, a girl with skis….., and, finally, he arrives at Roly Poly Mountain.
