'Tis the night before Christmas, and something is coming. A sleigh drawn by eight reindeer? Not this time. It's a UFO, bringing five aliens to the quiet little town of Hamlet, Vermont. The five visitors from the planet Fixipuddle assume the appearance of Earthlings—well, elves—and set out to rid Earth of its evil dictator, a fat man in a red suit.
