The elves are busy at the North Pole, gearing up for Christmas which is just around the corner. Making toys that put smiles on children's faces is all they do and it's their purpose. They all seem to cherish their magical lives...well most—except Tinsel, who has had enough and refuses to spend another year doing something he believes is wrong when the brats of the human race don't appreciate anything anyway. Tinsel wants to see the world and have new experiences, but Santa doesn't want him to go. Is Santa hiding something? What truths might Tinsel unearth while living among ordinary people? Perhaps there's more to the story of Christmas than what tradition has led us to believe.
