Message in a Bottle. Gruzzlebeard goes ice-fishing and finds a letter to Santa in a bottle. It is from a boy named Marlo in Animalia, where animals talk. Marlo and his parents ended up stranded there but the friendly animals help them enjoy Christmas. An evil troll witch who hates Christmas turned everybody except him and a number of others, to stone. Gruzzlebeard and Dudley go, deciding to team-up with this witch. When Santa finds out about this, he goes with his elves, but he gets turned to stone as well. His elves and the remaining animals all un-due the witch’s spell. Santa then defeats the witch by spraying bubble gum at her. He promises to reward Marlo though it isn't specified what Santa is giving him for Christmas.
