SYNOPSIS:
Christmas is a magical time. Growing up we believed. We believed in Santa Claus, elves. flying reindeer. And we believed in the magic and mystery of Christmas, even though we never saw the big guy himself. Now, it’s not enough to just believe, people want proof. But what would happen if word ever got out that there really was a Santa? He would be hounded by paparazzi, Christmas would become even more commercialized, sensationalized. Thousands of years of Christmas magic and mystery would be lost in what could be a single event.
That thought is what made me create The Naughty or Nice Intelligence Agency. What if it wasn’t magic, but technology and a vast network of spies around the world that work for Santa Claus. They look just like us. Act just like us, might even be your neighbor. They are trained to protect the magic and mystery of Christmas and report back to Santa Claus whether children are naughty or nice. They observe and report. And have only one golden rule: Never get involved with the people they’re reporting back on, so they can be fair and impartial.
