At  the  North  Pole, the Christmas rush is on. Everyone from elves to
reindeer are merrily preparing  for  Santa  Claus's  yearly  sleigh  ride.
Everyone except Santa! Feeling forgotten by the children of the world, old   St.   Nick   decides   to   skip   his  gift-giving journey and take a
vacation. Eager to help, Mrs. Claus and  two  spunky  little  elves  set
