On the other side of the village, a mysterious demon-reindeer had done plotting a plan to destroy all the Christmas. To do that, he needed to gain a very special flower that blooms only on the Christmas Eve. The flower was also wanted by a strange man but only for his science research, he didn't know anything about the evil reindeer plan.

They had to climb the highest peak of the Great Mountain to pick the magical flower.

When the two finally met, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, all the night sky was covered with falling meteors. The demonic-reindeer, almost ready to blast his dead attack, immediately stopped. The man was flabbergasted, but he ignored the fact and just picked the flower.

After the interesting meeting, he took a train and moved away to the nowhere.

To these days, no one exactly knows what happened at the Great Mountain - all they know is the fact that Christmas was saved!

He was an old man living alone in his small veteran house, without a wife, children, any company at all and his hearing.

Christmas Eve was about to begin but he wasn't going to celebrate.

Suddenly, the lamps outside turned on, which made Marco think again about his brutal past.

The snowstorm was getting stronger, there was lots of screaming, shooting, loud noises surrounding him and his companions, some of them were on the ground half covered by the snow. He did not know what was happening to him or where he was, he just wanted to come back to his home to celebrate Christmas with his family, but in these days holidays didn't really mattered.

Then there was one loud noise, his ears and head were hurting, bright light covered everything and he thought it was over.

He woke up after a long time in a hospital. Nurses had informed him that the power of the explosion has almost completely destroyed his hearing, and after that he was sent home, but no one was there.

Since then, he never found anyone and was always only by himself.

He got used to it, but deeply in his heart he was missing companionship.

He thought this year would be the same but someone appeard on his doorstep. He was a little shocked that it was his neighbor with his wife and two daughters. It turned out that their house was freezing because of some damage. He invited them inside. Marco had seen them before, they always were smiling to him but he was to scared to approach them.

They brought dinner with them and ate all together. Marco was truly happy for the first time in all those years.

Christmas was saved for everyone!

"It's almost Christmas. You shouldn't be sad at that time." But he was. The man inside the castle was spending all his days walking around dark hallways looking carefully at the paintings hanging on the walls. While he was doing it on the 24th of December, he stopped for a few minutes. The few minutes turned into hours and suddenly the clock struck midnight. The thing that caught his eyes that time was the painting of his dead wife. She was sitting with a little smile on her face and a book in her hand. All of a sudden, the book started moving forwards and then the whole hand came out of the picture. The man was shocked. He didn't know what to do but then he found himself touching her soft skin. The salty tears appeared in his eyes. He thought it was a dream but the only dreams he had were nightmares. He pulled her hand helping her get out of the frame and after that she fell into his arms. He heard the beautiful sound of her voice whispering "I've missed you". The colours brightened and the castle turned into a warm place, a home. The only thing that matters in life are your closest ones. Love is the only thing that really saves the Christmas.

^{Everyone was preparing for filming the next scene, but all she could think of was her daughter, who was spending Christmas alone. That’s why she wasn’t doing well with her acting, which annoyed the director - again.}

^{Nobody really wanted to be there, all they were doing was sipping their coffees and thinking about coming back to their families. But they had to be there, all because their director had an ambition to make the best Christmas film ever.}

^{Dave sighted looking at everyone. After a minute of silence, he stormed out of the set. Well, now they were without their director, having no idea what to do…}

^{Dave went for a cigarette, it was his habit. He wasn’t expecting to see anyone there, but, to his surprise, he saw a blonde woman. It was Clarice talking on the phone. Dave started listening into her conversation.}

^{“Mommy, we miss you. Why aren’t you with us?” a sad girl said.}

^{Suddenly, he realised he had been in a similar situation. A long time ago, he was also working late on Christmas Eve, even though his little daughter was in the hospital. His phone was on silent all day, that’s why he couldn’t hear the news about his sunshine passing away.}

^{He thought to himself that he wouldn’t have wanted that kind of thing happen to anyone.}

^{Dave threw away his cigarette, walking up to Clarice. His hand touched her shoulder.}

^{“I’m sorry, Clarice. I was so blinded by my own goals. Go home, please. Your family is awaiting you.”}

^{After some minutes, everyone was sent home. Dave felt a wave of relief because he was able to make people and their families happy.}

^{For all of them - Christmas was saved!}

But when a child handed him a small, hand-knit scarf and whispered, "Merry Christmas," something inside him softened. He paused, then turned back, gathering fallen decorations and setting them right.

By dawn, the city sparkled again, and Jack stood among the cheering crowd, his heart warm for the first time in years.

Christmas was saved.

When they finally met, he wanted to rizz her up so he ordered an octopus for them.

After that he said, "If I was an octopus, all my hearts would beat for you," and when she didn’t know how to react he said, "You get it? 'cause octopuses have 3 hearts, right?”

The silence was loud. Suddenly, the waiter came with their food.

After a pleasant evening, he felt a sudden tummy ache. Then he ran to the bathroom to vomit. He realized then that he had been poisoned because the food was bad. After that, he went to the hospital alone. He was sad because he thought the date went bad and she probably would never contact him again.

The doctors told him his condition was really bad and he had to stay the night in hospital. He couldn’t stop thinking about the dress that he really wanted to buy for his date. After this thought he felt really sad because he remembered that he would never see her again.

When he got better the next day he wanted to take his shot and meet up with her. When he ran out of the hospital, he saw her. She was holding Lego flowers they had been talking about on their date. Then she told him that she wanted to check up on him because she was worried after he left.

Out of nowhere she said, "Are you Legos? Because I would never Lego of you."

He then realized she was matching his level of rizz which made him fall for her even more. So he answered, "Can I be your snowflake? Cuz I promise to never melt away from your heart," while the snow started falling.

They decided to spend this Christmas together so the Christmas was saved!

Snow blanketed the mountain trail as Witold tightened his scarf against the biting cold. He adjusted the medkit strapped to his side and glanced at the small wooden stick in his hand—a carved toy he had made as a Christmas gift for his younger brother, Damian.

But tonight, there was no time for games. Damian was in danger.

Witold had been halfway through hanging Christmas stockings when the call came over the radio: Damian’s snow-hiking group had lost their way in the mountains, and the storm was closing in. A rescue team was on its way, but Witold couldn’t just wait. He grabbed his gear, including the medkit he always carried as a volunteer medic, and set out into the snow.

As he trudged upward, a faint glimmer caught his eye. He stopped, narrowing his gaze. Tiny particles of light floated in the air, shimmering like a trail of breadcrumbs. It was odd, but he took it as a sign. Following the glowing path, he pressed forward, his boots crunching through the snow.

After long hours, he heard a faint voice. “Witold?”

His heart leapt. He turned to see Damian, huddled under a rock ledge with two of his friends. His face was pale, and his hands clutched his side where a makeshift bandage covered a wound. Beside him, a pocket knife lay in the snow—it must have been what caused the injury.

“Damian!” He shouted, rushing to his side. He dropped to his knees and pulled out the medkit, his fingers working quickly to clean and re-bandage the cut. “You’re going to be okay.”

One of his friends pointed to a distant slope. “We heard the rescue team’s signal. They’re trying to get to us, but the storm’s getting worse.”

Witold looked at Damian, then at the toy stick in his pocket. He handed it to him with a small smile. “Merry Christmas, kiddo. You’ll need this for your next adventure—but for now, let’s get you out of here.”

With Damian leaning on him for support, and the faint glow of those mysterious particles guiding their way, they trudged toward the rescue team. The storm howled around them, but Witold’s determination didn’t waver.

Hours later, they reached safety, just as the first rays of Christmas morning light broke through the clouds. Exhausted but relieved, Witold welcomed Damian tightly.

“You’re my hero,” Damian whispered.

And as they sat by the fire at the rescue station, sipping hot cocoa and watching the snowfall, Witold knew their Christmas was saved!

"I can't sleep, James," she said.

The boy stopped his exercises and came to her.

"I can't either. Go to the kitchen, I'm going to make us breakfast."

A few minutes later they were eating together and talking about Christmas preparations.

Suddenly, something hit their roof.

They were very shocked but decided to find out what made this noise.

Outside they saw something unbelivable!!!

There were Santa's sleigh. But they couldn't see any reindeers.

Suddenly they heard someone talk.

"Can somebody help me? Oh no! My reindeers! They escaped!"

Katie and James came closer to see what happened. They saw Santa!!!

They wanted to help him. When he got out of the sleigh, he asked them for a favor.

"Can you help me catch my reindeers? If I stay here, children won't get their gifts."

"Of course!" replied Katie, happy.

They started to run around the forest that was near their house and look for animals.

After an hour reindeers were back with Santa and ready to go. Santa thanked them for saving him and when he went away waving to them, suddenly, he disappeared.

They couldn't believe their eyes but this was magic!!!

James and Katie were happy that they coudld experience something like this.

They came back home.

When Katie entered her room, she found a gift and a letter on her bed.

She read: "Merry Christmas! Thank you for help, I hope you will enjoy your present! S.C."

Christmas was saved.

His search began there. After many hours he found the perfect gift - a talking fish ornament. He only had 9 dollars while the gift cost 9.99. He was devastated, but that couldn't stop him, so he went to a place he knew well... A casino!

He started with blackjack like a normal person would. Unfortunately, that didn't turn out well - he lost half of his money. He changed from cards to dice and he had again lost. Now he had only a dollar left. His last hope was the only game left - the slot machine. He took a seat and pulled the lever. The first slot - a seven, second slot - also a seven! "I'm going to win!" he thought to himself. But just when the third slot was approaching the last seven, it stopped too quickly... It landed on a cherry...

The man was depressed. Just as he was going to sink deep in his sorrow, he looked out of the window. There he saw a group of teenagers building a snowman. The creation wasn't good - instead of a pair of twigs for arms, it had a pair of icicles. It didn't even have a scarf or buttons on - only a carrot and two dots for eyes. The man began to tear up. He remembered his teenage days, when every year he built a snowman with his childhood friend who now is his wife. "I'm going to make this right," he thought. "It can't end like this!"

Just as he made that point, the police showed up. It turned out that the whole casino was illegal. They took the head representative in handcuffs to jail. 'Hello, sir, is everything alright?' the policeman asked.

The man had a brilliant idea. "Officer! Thank god you are here! I had a 1000 dollars with me and that thief shoved me aside and stole my money! How am I going to buy a present for my wife now?!" his acting skills were very good. "Don't you worry, sir. Here's your money back. We confiscated all of it and were going to return it to its owners anyway. Merry Christmas!"

The man couldn't believe his luck. He quickly went to the mall and bought the most expensive pair of heels and, of course, the fish ornament. He then returned home and wrapped the present. He spend this Christmas with his wife and that's how the Christmas was saved.

When she reached her lab, she saw the police. Someone had put a bomb inside! They told everyone to leave, but Jane didn’t want to go. Her glowing shark was too important. She took out her small Swiss army knife and sneaked inside.

Inside the lab, something strange happened. The shark in the tank started to shake violently. Its glow became brighter, and Jane could swear she heard it whisper, “Hurry!” She found Jack, a firefighter she used to love, trying to stop the bomb. But his tools weren’t working.

Jane handed him her knife, but then the shark began to grow. It smashed the tank and flopped onto the floor, transforming into something monstrous—a shark with legs! Jane and Jack froze in shock as it growled, “Save the clock, or I’ll eat you both!”

Terrified but focused, they worked together and stopped the bomb just in time. The shark let out a strange laugh, shrank back into its tank, and said, “Good work. Christmas is safe... for now.”

Outside, Big Ben rang loudly, and snow fell softly. Jack smiled nervously at Jane. “You saved Christmas,” he said, “but what was that thing?”

Jane looked at the tank and whispered, “I don’t know, but I think it just saved us.”

And so, Christmas was saved!... but something freaky was just beginning.

The weather was terrible, the wind was very strong. Santa got sick and he asked a little angel called Christiane to help him with the presents. She struggled because of the wind and the weight of Christmas presents. Suddenly, she felt that she couldn’t control her flying anymore and she fell down to a large forest. When Christiane fell down, she noticed that her wing is broken. She felt very lost and terrified. She was trying to find any living creature in this dark forest. After a long time of walking around, she fell asleep.

A few minutes later she got woken up by a large animal. Christiane got up and looked up at him, and she realized that it was a bull.

The bull told her to get out of his forest because he hates Christmas. She explained to him the beautiful magic of Christmas holidays. After a long time of persuading him, he got more hope and believed in her words. Suddenly, a miracle happened… the bull obtained the ability to fly.

He said that he will help the little angel to bring presents and Christmas joy for kids all around the world. That’s how the Christmas was saved!

"HO! HO! HO! Welcome, my child! It's me, Santa! How are you doing? You are probably wondering why I have come here. To answer you my child, I have come to show you what Christmas love is."

After those words the self-proclaimed Santa took the little girl on a trip to the North Pole. They went and visited all possible Christmas villages. She met a lot of kind elves, and helped them with baking cookies and packing presents. He showed her what true Christmas looks like. The little girl was amazed by how beautiful and warm it can be. When she came back home, she showed her parents how to cherish special days. At the end of the day Santa saved another child's heart.
