This is a fairytale about the life of Santa and his wife, 'Mother', at the North Pole and the busy time before Christmas. The normally smooth running of this pre-Christmas period is upset by an aggrieved elf, Brian - Santa's Naughty Elf, whose nose has been put out of joint by the rather unkind teasing of the other elves, resulting from the previous bad behaviour of the Naughty Elf towards them. Santa does not condone Brian's behaviour and so punishes him by not allowing him his official badge, which means he cannot help in Santa's workshop. Brian, therefore, takes revenge by doing all he can to make life difficult for Santa and Mother. Will Santa be able to deliver his presents on Christmas Eve? Or will Brian succeed in destroying Christmas?
