Introduction

Lindsay Brinkley had begun to dread Christmas. As she liked to tell her out-of-town kids, It's all months of commercial preparation, and then poof! It's over in one day.

Inspiration and Decision

Inspired by some TV interviews with department store Santas who share that sentiment, she decides to extend the season with weeks of anonymously delivered gifts.

Conflict

Trouble is, the news media becomes obsessed with Santa's secret helper and wants to unmask her.

Resolution

Along her journey, she does rediscover the true spirit of Christmas, especially when she meets the modern-day Santa.
