Santa is in a pickle this year. The naughty and nice lists are missing! Without them, he doesn't know which children deserve shiny new toys and which ones were supposed to get coal. He searches high and low, calling on his helpful elves and even asking the reindeer to join the hunt. He tries looking from a whole new perspective-yes, even doing a handstand!-but no matter where he looks, the lists are nowhere to be found.
Without his lists, Santa doesn't have enough toys for everyone, and he starts to wonder if the Christmas cheer might have to be canceled altogether. Can the magic of the season be saved, or will Santa have to wait until next year to set things right?
