The film is narrated by Santa Claus's donkey, Speiltoe, voiced by Roger Miller. He tells the tale of a donkey with abnormally long ears named Nestor, who lived in the days of the Roman Empire. Every animal in the stable disliked Nestor because of his ears. One day the animals in the stable are celebrating the winter solstice. Nestor's mother gives socks to Nestor to cover his ears.

 

Compare with [[Disney]]'s [[Animated Films|theatrical release]] ''[[The Small One (Disney)|The Small One]]'' for a somewhat similar treatment of the theme.

* [[Christmas Special]] - With all the cute animals and angels, one might think this a cheery, happy kind of special but it really isn't.

* [[Easily Forgiven]] - At the end, Nestor goes home to the donkey breeder, who kicked him out into the cold, and the other animals who made fun of him, and seems perfectly happy to see them all.

* [[Ethereal Choir]]

* [[Fantastic Religious Weirdness]]

* [[Jerkass]] - Pretty much everyone is this to Nestor, except his mom, Tilly, Joseph, and Mary.
