Everett is a slightly inept, but ever-so-polite Elf in Santa's workshop who messes up everything. When Everett dawdles on Christmas morning playing with one of the toys he finds himself left behind. Then he meets Sam who helps Everett get back to the North Pole and Everett learns that being "different" can be wonderful.
