Precocious, 6 year old, Eloise observes The Plaza Hotel, where she lives, being decorated for Christmas and decides to help. Illustrator, Tammie Lyon, has Eloise drawing decorations on the hotel’s hallway walls, taking a red ribbon off of a wreath, and a garland off of a banister. The hotel staff are eyeing Eloise as Eloise eyes the giant Christmas tree in the hotel lobby. Eloise takes a silver bow off of a present leaps into the air to the top of the Christmas tree “To fix the tree.” Soon Nanny is there to take Eloise back to the hotel’s top floor, where they live.
