Ever since he was a little boy, carpenter Andersen has loved Christmas more than anything. Every year he does his best to create the perfect holiday of giving for his children. If only he weren’t so clumsy! Every time he dresses up in a red coat and fake beard to deliver presents, things end in chaos. This time Mrs Andersen, who has had enough, strictly forbids his disguise. But of course Andersen can’t give it up. While making preparations with his sleigh full of gifts, he slips and falls. As he gets back up on his feet, he can hardly believe his eyes: in front of him stands Santa Claus himself! Santa has an unusual idea – why don’t the two of them swap families for the evening? After all, the little Christmas children love stories about Carpenter Andersen. A funny and heart-warming story for the entire family.
