This year was Santa's last sleigh ride to provide toys to children. He complained to his wife Jessica Claus that through his telescope he had witnessed the dangers so many innocent children face today.

Was he up to the challenge?

This is the story of a little elf named Stanley, and his secret wish to do something that no other elf has ever done before.

Everybody, that is, except his cousin, Reginald Claus. Reginald absolutely hates all the attention that Santa gets, so much that he schemes of a way to take the credit for himself!
