Действие происходит в декабре 1910 года. Эльфы Санта-Клауса ухитрились закончить приготовление всех подарков за неделю до рождества, и миссис Клаус пытается уговорить мужа испытать новый, разработанный ею маршрут для доставки подарков детям - однако он слишком увлечен текущими делами и практически не обращает на неё внимания. Уставшая быть лишь «тенью великого человека» и безвылазно дожидаться мужа среди снегов, Анна Клаус хочет решиться на «что-нибудь этакое» и в конце концов берёт сани и оленей Санты, и отправляется в поездку сама. Попав в буран над Нью-Йорком, она вынужденно делает посадку и уже после неё обнаруживает, что один из оленей, Кьюпид, подвернул ногу. Любезный молодой итальянец Марчелло из соседней конюшни осматривает оленя и констатирует, что травма небольшая и заживёт в спокойной обстановке менее чем за неделю.

We see the housetops of the town and angels are flying about depositing packages in each of the chimneys. (Edison Catalog)
