Twelve charming elves travel up and down each state to see who is still awake before Santa comes. Along the way, they visit state landmarks and curiosities, all bedecked in holly and holiday fun. Their last stop? Your home, of course. Jump in bed!

'Twas Christmas in Colorado

and 12 elves were sent

to see who was sleeping . . .

Away the elves went!

In each home was nestled

Each girl and each boy,

while Centennial State visions

brought everyone joy.
