Christmas is coming to Pinecone Hollow, and Dash the Maine Coon can feel it in the air.

There are cookies to bake, lanterns to light, and Christmas carols ready to be sung. Everything feels warm, busy, and exciting—just the way Dash likes it. But as the village prepares to celebrate, Dash begins to notice something important.

Not everyone experiences Christmas the same way.

Some friends prefer quiet moments. Some feel overwhelmed by noise. Others want to join in but aren’t sure how. As Dash slows down and starts listening, he learns that paying attention to others’ feelings—and making room for everyone—can make Christmas even more meaningful.
