Catching Father Christmas
CATCHING FATHER CHRISTMAS
It is the night before Christmas and warm in her house, Amy is waiting, ready to pounce.
Amy has had enough of Father Christmas sneaking around. Up late at night she’s going to catch him. What she doesn’t realise is that on Christmas Eve there are plenty of other creatures in her house with the same idea.
Gomito’s trademark style of junk puppetry brings to life a house full of trouble for our young hero. Can she save Christmas and get back to bed before Father Christmas arrives?
