Story:

On a snowy Christmas Eve, a pair of anxious young children eagerly anticipate the arrival of Santa Claus and the gifts that they will be receiving. Taking notice of this, their grandfather narrates a poetic fable with the intentions of educating them on the true nature of the holidays.

The tale details the life of an outrageously overindulged, bratty 5-year-old named Jeremy Creek, whom, in his youth, is excessively spoiled by his mild and intimidated parents, flinging himself into destructive and violent temper tantrums when his demands are not met. After his parents decide to stand their ground by refusing to indulge their son any longer after hearing reports from their neighbors and seeing a huge crack in the wall, an infuriated Jeremy, recalling the upcoming Christmas season, decides to write Santa Claus a lengthy and demanding wish list consisting of all the presents that he does not yet own. However, when Santa receives the massive list, he assumes that it was written on behalf of multiple people. He discovers an impoverished swamp town coincidentally named “Jeremy Creek” on his map, and realizing he has never delivered them presents before, resolves to make up for his prior absences.

On Christmas morning, Jeremy is crestfallen to discover there are no gifts for him beneath the Christmas tree, and catches sight of a news broadcast with his parents detailing the joy of the penniless and bedraggled children of the town Jeremy Creek upon receiving the countless presents from Santa. While initially furious, Jeremy himself is touched by the joy brought to the less fortunate through his own greed inadvertently, and his self-absorption is dissolved upon the realization of the true meaning of Christmas. Santa also visits Jeremy to apologize for the mistake, and in recognition of his newfound selflessness, Santa offers him the opportunity to help him deliver gifts every Christmas Eve. Jeremy agrees, giving away many of his own toys, and continues to aid Santa until he grows too big to fit in the sleigh.

The elderly gentleman concludes the story by explaining that Santa selects new assistants like Jeremy every few years. The grandchildren, taking the story to heart, are no longer quite as concerned with toys. As the special concludes, the two grandchildren ponder if one of them could be Santa’s assistant, and the grandfather muses the same could be true of him, as the name on his mailbox reveals that the grandpa is actually Jeremy himself.
