Description
All Nicholas wants for Christmas is . . . everything hockey!
Nicholas can hardly contain his excitement leading up to Christmas. There's only one thing on his wish list: hockey gear! When the big day arrives, Nicholas is ecstatic to discover that he got what he asked for! Only — uh oh — nothing is quite right . . . When Nicholas realizes he's not the only one with this problem, he has a big one-size-fits-all idea to save the day.
