Plot
This issue is presented in multiple chapters.
Chapter One: December 22nd, 1956
Many years ago, Jack got caught trying to steal Santa's list of naughty and nice names. Bigby is not impressed.
Chapter Two: Wolf Manor
In the present, at Bigby's family mansion, the kids use their powers to decorate the Christmas tree. Bigby asks Snow what she wants for Christmas, and she tells him that she wants to visit the North Wind and his kingdom in the Homelands which isn't in the Adversary's control.
Chapter Three: The Rug
Boy Blue and Rose Red acquire a magic flying carpet, try it out, and bring the Wolf family their presents on it. They stay for dinner. Rose tells her niblings a secret: that Santa will answer a question in exchange for no presents to whoever sees him.
Chapter Four: The Question
The kids have drawn straws and Ambrose has to do it. Dare tells him the question is how to get the best presents as possible, but Ambrose goes against the deal to ask Santa how he delivers all the presents worldwide. Santa tells him that he is such a powerful and magical fable, that there are multiple copies of him so that he can get to every house worldwide.
Chapter Five: The Answer
Santa also visits Flycatcher, bringing a visitor: his deceased wife from beyond. She kisses him, changing him back into a man, then is gone. Santa reveals that although these gifts are painful, they are important for the future safety of many, many worlds. Ambrose goes to bed; Santa tells Bigby to stop lurking in the shadows. One last present: Santa hands over the naughty and nice list to keep safe alongside the others.
