One Dad, planning on working away for Christmas, takes his daughter's letter for Santa with him to post.  Unfortunately, he misses the 'post boat' and a series of mishaps means that he ultimately ends up delivering the letter to The North Pole himself. 

He receives a lift home and is surprised by the contents of the letter when he gets there.
