The children's letters have been particularly distressing to Santa this year - too much materialism and greed.  The more he reads, the more disillusioned he becomes.  When Santa refuses to make his Christmas Eve around-the-world flight, Mrs. Claus and his elf friends pull out all the stops in some zany attempts to rally Santa from his depression.  Finally, confronted with the simplicity of one child's unselfish Christmas wish, Santa realizes his attitude has been tarnished by circumstances and people around him.  As Santa's faith is restored through reaffirming his purpose in life, the mystery behind the greedy letters is revealed.  Then, this fun-filled adventure ends at just the right place - Bethlehem.
