Synopsis
Ever wonder how Santa knows what to bring you – even if you forgot to tell him? It’s the job of the Wishing Elves to listen in on children’s wishes and report back to Old Saint Nick. What if an elf is not good at toy-making or herding reindeer or wrapping packages? Wilbur is reassigned as a Wishing Elf, helping Santa find out what people really want for Christmas. Becoming a Wishing Elf was something Wilbur never dreamed possible – but now that he has his chance, he just MUST make good. Will he succeed?
