A charming, inspirational story of hope and friendship which emphasizes that everyone has worth and a purpose in life. Tick Tock, a museum mouse who lives in an antique grandfather clock named Humphrey, is friend to all of the furniture that comes to life each evening after the museum closes. This Christmas, Tick Tock has his work cut out for him when Humphrey is saddened because his chime doesn't chime, his pendulum doesn't swing, and his hands don't keep time. Racing from room to room, Tick Tock unites the sofa and chairs and teapots and cups in their support of their friend, trying to raise his spirits. Finally, a Christmas miracle restores Humphrey's inner workings which in turn restores his sense of worth and purpose.
