Plot

On Christmas Eve, Santa is riding on Dragonite to deliver presents, reminding Dragonite that they need to be very quiet when entering the children's room. As they drop off presents, they don't notice a young boy stowing away in Santa's sack. At the next house, the boy leaves the sack so twin girls can ride in the sack instead. As Santa continues to deliver gifts, the kids keep taking turns in Santa's sack, and after leaving the last house Santa notices that his bag feels the same - to which Dragonite says it's because he hasn't given them their present yet. Handing over the sack, the two agree to meet up next year as Santa heads back to the North Pole and Dragonite brings the young boy home and tucks him in for bed.
