There is turmoil here in Arctic County, North Pole. The reindeer, tired of bad working conditions (such as long hours on holidays) have gone on strike. Only two remain loyal to Santa: Donner and Cupid. Will they be able to pull the sleigh by themselves this foggy Christmas Eve? (Rudolph retired long ago.)

Santa is depressed, drowning himself in a flood of eggnog and cookies. Mrs. Claus is valiantly holding up and a few of the elves are working for her in order to get the toys out on time. Unfortunately, many of the elves have joined the reindeer strike. However, Santa’s principal elf, Endorfin (and Santa’s hardest worker), was found dead in his cottage.
