Holiday Land

Summary

Scrappy, a recurring character with his own series, is awakened by his alarm clock, does not want to get up and go to school. Tossing in his bed, he wishes that "today was a holiday". The wind blows pages off his wall calendar, which produce "holidays" in the forms of their mascots (Father Time, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, a Thanksgiving turkey, a Halloween witch, etc.) Scrappy enjoys various holiday celebrations until he is awakened by his mother's voice. He quickly makes his morning routine, dresses, and eats a hasty breakfast, before diving under his bedclothes to dream again.
