The Downfall of Santa Claus

Santa Claus whole existence is dependent on a little boy's faith. Christmas is supposed to be a magical time, but instead it's dire times for Santa Claus. His whole existence is fading, because the children have stopped believing in him. There is one little boy called Vetle, that still believes, but for how long?

This is obviously bad news for Santa Claus, who has begun to realize his fading position. He has been forced to lay off all his staff due to the lack of submitted wish lists and hence lack of assignments. There is only one gift he has to deliver, namely, the one for Vetle. The clock is ticking; Santa Claus needs to find Vetle before his view is tainted by the grown-ups opinion over the reality of Santa Claus. Santa Claus must find Vetle, deliver the mysterious gift and convince Vetle that he exists before it's too late and he ultimately fades away.
