Farley is invited to spend the winter at the Henderson Farm if he runs out of food. He heads to the barn after a bad snow storm intending to pick up Madeline the meadow mouse on the way. Together they rescue a stranded young goldfinch and take her to barn with them. At the barn they learn of a cellibration approaching called Christmas. Christmas eve at the barn brings excitement and Santa Claus, who brings all the animals Christmas presents, including a solution to the stranded goldfinch, Bobbi Jo's dilema.
