Santa Claus was once a child himself, right?  This is the premise of a film that tells the story of how Santa Claus came to be.  An orphaned child, Nikolas, is cared for by all of the families in the remote village of Lapland.  At the end of each year – Christmas Day – he is passed on to another family.  To repay their kindness, Nikolas makes toys for the children.  As his adoptive families increase, Nikolas provides toys for nearly everyone in the village.  A food shortage in the town, however, prompts Nikolas to work for the cruel carpenter Lisakki, who forbids Nikolas to make toys.  Has Christmas come to an end?  A crowd-pleasing favorite in Finland, CHRISTMAS STORY is heart-warming fun for the entire family.
