Tommy Trot's Visit to Santa Claus

Tommy Trot lives on a hilltop estate in the timeless land of “Once upon a Time,” surrounded by lawns, stables, and a wild wood that borders a stream. Though his house is full of toys, the solitary boy spends most of his days alone with his terrier, Sate, dreaming of the rough‑and‑ready games the boys next door enjoy. As Christmas draws near, his wish for a simple wagon and a pair of goats grows louder, and the promise of a new sled fuels his hope for a real adventure.

When the first snow of the season settles, Tommy and his friend Johnny Stout set out with dogs and a makeshift sled toward the frozen north, following a map that leads them past the aurora‑lit sky to Santa’s hidden workshop. There, the jolly maker of gifts welcomes the curious duo and shares a glimpse of his bustling, ever‑snowy city. The boys also hear a daring tale of a polar bear whose massive skin later drapes the fireplace back home, hinting at the bold hunt that lies ahead.
