“Mr. Wilson and His Gang at Christmas,” as the book is subtitled, focuses on the curmudgeonly neighbor showing some holiday spirit in two tales.

“Jolly George” is a more religious outing focusing on the “the reason for the season.” Dennis and the gang learn the meaning of a nativity while Mr. Wilson learns the importance of those around him.

“Generous George????” is a more secular story, but no less expansive with the emotional ending. Mrs. Wilson facilitates her husband’s good will with a nudge to help Dennis and the other children. Mr. Wilson finds his efforts are reward enough in the end.
