Brother, Sister, and Honey Bear know more about Easter candy than Easter itself until their Sunday School teacher, Missus Ursula, takes them to see a passion play performed by another class.

Bear's friends awaken him the day before Christmas and help him to stay awake as they bake fruitcakes, fill stockings, and sing carols; then, while they sleep, he prepares his own surprise.

Brother and Sister Bear and their little sister, Honey, get a nutcracker for Christmas, and when they quickly tire of their other gifts and their parents suggest they use their imaginations instead, they are inspired to act out the ballet.

When a young bear is awakened from his winter nap by a mysterious sound, he makes new friends and discovers the true meaning of Christmas.

"It's Thanksgiving in Bear Country. It's a perfect time for the Bear family to go for a stroll and enjoy the sights of the season: beautiful fall foliage, ripe red apples, bright orange pumpkins, and of course, a fine turkey. Thanksgiving really is all around!"--Back cover.
