In a world of northern lights, the skillful elves and their wives make Christmas gifts for all the children. There's a great deal to remember and arrange under Santa's protection. Life at Mount Korvatunturi is a hive of activity.
Elfin children attend school and there are dozens of different workshops at Korvatunturi. There's a quite a racket in the carpenter's workshop and the printing house. The wares are taken from the workshops to huge storerooms.
The elves' life isn't all work and no play. They have a summer vacation and spare time. Korvatunturi boasts a fine brass band and Santa claims to be very fond of fishing. Some elves are herding the reindeer.
In late autumn, Santa sends out his scouting elves to observe children. Before long, letters start arriving in huge numbers. The wrapping of the gifts is a great event and everyone at Korvatunturi takes part. Santa never forgets anyone.
The sleighs and sleds are brought out and the aeroplanes serviced. The loading of the presents begins and each elf knows his duties. Christmas Eve is a time of excitement and expectation. Are there any good children in this household?
Another Christmas has passed and the weary, but happy travelers return to Korvatunturi. The next day, after church and the children's Christmas pageant, Santa and all the elves gather for their own Christmas celebration.
