It’s nearly Christmas, so Hopscotch and friends decide to put up their tree. But when their old one falls apart, no one can agree on how the new one should look. Big, or small, fat or thin? Can the friends work together to find a new one? After all, it wouldn’t be Christmas without a tree… would it?
