Sit down, Mother,
     and tell me again.
When are my uncles
     coming? When?

Pressed against the windowsill in breathless anticipation, a little girl cannot wait for her beloved uncles to arrive for Thanksgiving dinner. She begs her mother to tell her about each and every one of them. What follows is a lyrical duet culminating in the whole house rollicking with music, dance, song, and a joyous feast. And just as they finish their reverie, who should that be coming around the bend?

A holiday tale perfectly suited to any child who has waited impatiently for the arrival of favorite relatives to turn a special day into one of true thanksgiving.
