Plot

The plot involves a tired Mole and his friend Rat trudging through the snow one Christmas Eve towards Rat's home, all the while unknowingly pursued by two inept and clumsy weasels. Suddenly, Mole smells his home and wishes that he could be there instead. Once at his home, Mole and Rat decorate it for Christmas and prepare a Christmas feast which they share with a group of poor field mice who are carolers.
