Description

Christmas is coming and the Sanderson kids are wrapping presents and decorating the tree with angels and shells. Meanwhile, a miracle is unfolding in their back yard. Behind the Sanderson's house two busy pukekos go largely unnoticed as they build a nest and tend to their precious eggs. On Christmas day six fluffy pukeko chicks arrive and Christmas day is a celebration for all.
