Cardboard Boxing Day

Full Episode description

This week in The Imagine Neighborhood™, special guest narrator Cardboard Scotty reads the fantastical tale of the first Cardboard Boxing Day.

While everyone in the Neighborhood busily prepares for different holidays, Princess Donnasaurus has a case of the end-of-year blues . . . which she decides to fix by buying up every toy she can get her claws on! But when her friends don’t come over to play with all her loot, Princess Donnasaurus learns that happiness doesn’t come from toys. The greatest joy comes from time spent with the people we love.

People in The Imagine Neighborhood celebrate lots of different holidays, and all of them are special. But there’s one holiday that everyone can celebrate: Cardboard Boxing Day! On the last Monday of the year, everyone gathers to spend time with each other (and with plenty of cardboard boxes). What cardboard masterpieces will you build with your loved ones this Cardboard Boxing Day?
