This delightful comedy is set at the North Pole with Santa and some of his staff as they prepare for Christmas Eve. The efficient-but-put-upon Chief of Staff, the dizzy housekeeper, the high-pressure sleigh salesman and the shop foreman who plays havoc with the English language are all hysterically funny and yet endearing. These wacky characters keep the place running like clockwork with the exception of a few in-house quirks and foibles.
