Le Noël de Chnourka, by Gaya Wisniewski

Winter has begun, the hills are covered with glittering snow and Christmas is around the corner. On the morning of December 24th, Mirko wakes up first. Everything must be all set for this evening! Every minute counts! Cooking with Chnourka and Zachary, picking a Christmas tree with Piotr and Nicolai, decorating the house with Emile and Tomek… Mirko has so much to do! Now everybody at home is excited by this busy day, except for Ricky and Billy, the two grumpy little hedgehogs. Winter is meant for people to sleep and what is Christmas for anyway?
