Tommy and Susie show him the various aspects of Christmas, convincing Grook to take the spirit of Christmas with him back to Mars. |

| Notes | The interior art is vastly different than that of the cover, and is reminiscent of Will Eisner, as well as Walt Kelly's "Our Gang" feature (from the comic book title of the same name), resulting in a charming and attractive rendering of this tale. |
