6-year-old son Charlie that Santa isn’t
real. On Christmas Eve, Scott reads The
Night Before Christmas... then receives
an unexpected visitor on his roof. When
he’s startled by Scott’s calling out and
falls, the Santa impersonator disappears,
leaving only an 8-reindeer sleigh and a
suit with instructions to put it on if he’s
involved in an accident. Scott does, and
is transported around the town dropping
gifts through chimneys until he’s taken
to the North Pole and informed by a
group who claim they’re elves that he is
now Santa. Charlie is proud of his dad’s
new job, though Scott’s convinced it’s
a dream. When he finally accepts it,
there’s just one problem: how to keep
it secret from his disbelieving family?
