This Christmas mini-musical is a great alternative to a nativity, telling the delightful tale of a little boy desperate to receive a pet mouse for Christmas. Unlikely though this seems, when a mouse takes a quick nap amongst the presents in Santa’s sack, so begins Tip’s flight of a lifetime and his subsequent arrival at the house of one very lucky young chap.
