Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey

In industrial England, Jeronicus Jangle — an inventor, toymaker, and owner of Jangles and Things — receives the final component to his latest invention that he believes will change his and his family's lives forever. This component can bring toys to life, the first being matador doll Don Juan Diego.

Jeronicus celebrates Christmas with his family, after he tells Gustafson he will look at his twirly whirly tomorrow leaving Diego and the store under the care of his apprentice and aspiring inventor Gustafson. When Diego discovers and becomes distraught upon learning he will be mass-produced, thus robbing him of his uniqueness. He then coerces Gustafson into getting back at Jeronicus by stealing himself and his book of inventions.

Without proof of Gustafson's actions to show to the police, Jangles and Things falls into financial hardship when Jeronicus's stolen book of invention makes Gustafson create his own factory. After his wife Joanne's death, Jeronicus grows distant from and neglects his daughter Jessica, who grows older and moves away. Thirty years later, Jangles and Things has become a failing pawnbroker shop and Jeronicus has completely lost his creative spark. He is regularly visited by postwoman Ms. Johnston, both sympathetic and smitten with him, who tries to lift his spirits. Jeronicus is also visited by banker Mr. Delacroix, who warns him to pay his debts. As an alternative, Jeronicus can produce a new invention to show to the bank by Christmas; otherwise, he will lose his shop.
