It's Christmas time in Australia, and Reindeer has great fun giving presents to his friends -- Cat, Dog and Guinea Pig. But even when it's warm and sunny outside, it's hard to be far from home and family on Christmas Eve. Luckily, Christmas is a time for exciting surprises, and this year Reindeer might just get one of his very own . . .
'What's inside -- what can it be Open it and you will see!'
