“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is by singing loudly for all to hear.” Buddy is an orphaned human who was raised at the North Pole by elves. When he travels to New York to find his real dad, Buddy finds a place where consumerism and anger have removed the joy of Christmas. Buddy faces many challenges in his quest to find his father, yet he continues to be joyful. When Santa can’t get his sleigh to power up, the effects of Buddy’s joy helps people begin to sing and soon, powers the sleigh. Jesus’ birth brought “joy that would be to all people.” We live with this joy, knowing that the darkness cannot overcome God’s light.
