Narrated by a partridge, this charming, animated tale explains the lengthy and confusing Christmas carol of the same name. The bold and brave Sir Carolboomer loves the melancholy Princess Silverbelle. To win her heart, he steals what he thinks is her Christmas list, but what turns out to be the answers to the King's crossword puzzle. He mistakenly enlists his servant, Hollyberry, to find every item on her bizarre list, including a partridge in a pear tree, two turtle doves, three French hens, four calling birds, and so on. You get the idea. After twelve days of this gift giving, the Princess falls in love not with Carolboomer, but with the one who actually did the work, the noble Hollyberry.
