QR Code Link to This Post
Jim and Maxi, the taxi-driving duo popularized in The Adventures of Taxi Dog (1990), Maxi, the Hero (1991), and Maxi, the Star (1993), awake to a snowy Christmas Eve. After trimming their tree and building a "snow dog" replica of Maxi, the two come to the rescue of six abandoned kittens, which they take to the taxi garage. "Each lucky tabbie went home with a cabbie" while one kitty joins Jim and Maxi as they shuttle last-minute shoppers around New York City. Suddenly, Santa, his reindeer, his load of toys, and remnants of his sled crash to the ground before them: "I lost flight control? When I left the North Pole," Santa said. "What on earth shall I do?" The solution--of course--hitch the reindeer to Jim and Maxi's taxi. Ayers' luminous oil paintings delight in the holiday sights and lights of New York City.
