(48X13' AND 2X26') Every 163 years, it’s time to find a replacement for Santa Claus. The rule is that any Santa should retire after 178 years of good and loyal service. Fifteen years before Santa leaves, the Christmas elves go out to find the ideal candidate for the position. He must be an orphan named Nicolas, who is pure of heart. This is how Nicolas Barnworth is whisked out of Australia and brought to the North Pole to learn the tricks of the “Santa Claus” trade.
