ONCE UPON A CHRISTMAS … IN A NOW NOT TOO FAR AWAY …
Santa’s evil twin brother steals the magic indivisibility ring, the magic shrinking-present bag, and all the presents, a week before Christmas, and takes everything down to his dark fortress at the South Pole. The story begins showing the joy of yet another year of the North Pole crew happily putting it all together, and then one morning, a week before the big night, everything is gone. No one knows where. The boy elf overhears Santa telling his wife about his evil brother for the first time, and that he doesn’t know what to do. Santa is bedridden by depression, and everything comes to a standstill. The boy elf pulls together crew of friends, and sets out to save Christmas. After a convoluted and dangerous journey, against all odds, and down to the wire, the victorious fellowship returns to the North Pole just in time to save Christmas.
