Synopsis

On a quiet Christmas Eve, a father is awakened by a clatter outside. Peering out, he witnesses the arrival of St. Nicholas and his eight reindeer, who land gracefully on the roof. The jolly old elf enters the house through the chimney, filling the stockings with gifts before disappearing into the night, leaving behind a magical memory of his visit.
