Illustrated by
Scott Nash.
Formerly flat Stanley Lambchop and family visit "Snow City" to persuade a jaded Santa to deliver presents on Christmas Eve despite the greedy letters he receives and the violence and inhumanity he sees on television. Peppy writing, humorous characterizations, and a modernized North Pole setting--all reinforced in the cartoony new illustrations--lighten the serious subtext.
