"Can you believe it's this time of year again?" Duke asked as he and Sweetpea helped set up Pops' place for Christmas. Sweetpea shook his head. "Less talk, more work!" Chloe hissed as she and Pepper passed by with streamers. Nitro and Tattoo followed them with a strand of Christmas lights.

"It feels like yesterday when Christmas was last here," Mel mumbled dreamily. Buddy nodded his head slowly in agreement. Just then, a blow horn blew in their faces as Snowball exclaimed, "We're supposed to be working, not chit-chatting!" Without turning around, he added, "Ozone, you could lend a paw to Gidget and Sky by the Christmas tree." Sniffing the air, Duke piped up, "Does anyone else smell something burning?"

"Out of the way!" Pops cried as he and Myron cleared a path for Blue and Ripper, who were carrying a tray with badly burnt cookies. Opening a nearby window, Sweetpea and Duke allowed them to dump the cookies into the alley. Peering out the window, Chloe muttered, "Hope someone doesn't mind eating burnt cookies."
