A Christmas Fantasy for all year round specifically for those of us young or old who believe that Santa Claus is alive and well. Obediah Bigwig, a senior board member elf at Christmasland takes over the entire organisation with an unexpected coup. He forces Santa into retirement making him live at 'Bide-a-Wee', a company owned retirement home by the sea. Mr Bigwig re-brands Christmasland, it is now and everything is computerised. Santa Claus grottos at shops and stores where the cildren have always visited to tell Santa what they want for Christmas have all been abolished. Instead the children have to log-on and place their order on-line, but as Santa says where is the magic in that? He runs away from 'Bide-a-Wee' and as luck would have it he meets a little boy, Josh, who has an unshakeable belief in Santa Claus. He agrees to help Santa regain his rightful place at the head of Christmasland. Santa gives Josh a magic snow dome and although initially Josh has no idea what it is for, it turns out it is crucial to their success, especially as Josh learns that the computerised systems at has gone haywire and there is a real danger that Christmas may never happen unless Santa can regain control.
