In B.C.--the first Thanksgiving, the madcap adventure begins when the B.C. gang tries to find a turkey to flavor their newly-heated Thanksgiving rock soup. Besides the fact that they do not exactly know what a turkey looks like, their plans are further complicated by a hungry dinosaur, who discovers their soup while they are gone. When the gang finally sits down to what is left of their meal, the turkey is the one saying grace. In B.C.--a special Christmas, Peter and Wiley invent a special holiday for celebrating the spirit of giving. Unfortunately, their hearts are set on making a fortune by selling the gifts that people will give one another, rather than on the joy that comes from giving. But, when their invention of a mythical gift-bringer comes to life, they learn that the real Christmas spirit is more valuable than gold
