It's Christmas Eve, and Jack and the gang are readying for the big day. They've made it to the party in time, but they're still missing a few things: the beard, the coat, and the boots. Jack's bummed, but he's also psyched that he'll be able to play with his friends again this year. He's even more psyched when he realizes that they've already made googly eyes, which means they'll have to make googly eyes for Rudolph. Jack is bummed, too, because he knows that Rudolph is going to be a big hit with the Oogie-Bounce crowd. But he also knows that they can't just go out and have a good time without him.
