The day before Christmas just doesn’t want to end, thinks 4-year-old Mia. Luckily, Dad still needs a last-minute Christmas gift for Mom. The department store is bustling and crowded. Finally, Mia and Dad have found something great. Now, quickly home. But where is Dad? How is Mia supposed to find him again in this chaos? Just before the tears start to fall, a saving angel appears and helps her look for Dad.
