"In the not-too-distant future, Santa has automated his entire workshop with high-tech machines that build all his toys and deliver them on Christmas Eve. This new technology has eliminated Santa's need for helpers. He's let go all but two of his elves, Elvis and Delphina, and released his rare 8 tiny reindeer--the ones who pulled his sleigh--back into the wild. But just days before Christmas, Santa learns that the business tycoon who supplied this modern technology, Larchmont Quickbuck, has decided to take over Christmas for himself and force Santa out of the operation! Desperate to stop that from happening, Santa asks Elvis and Delphina to track down the 8 tiny reindeer to help save Christmas, while he uses his now-rusty building skills to repair the toy-making machines. Elvis and Delphina quickly learn that the true magic of Christmas lies with the tiny reindeer--when all eight are brought together, they can slow down time! That's how Santa delivers presents around the world in one evening and why Santa needs the 8 tiny reindeer to make Christmas happen!"--Provided by publisher.
