In "When Santa Claus Fell to Earth", by Cornelia Funke, a young boy named Ben meets Nicolau Bonjan, a professional Santa Claus, after the latter's cart crashes to Earth during a storm. Nicolau reveals that he is being pursued by the Grand Christmas Council, led by an evil Santa Claus who seeks to destroy traditional Santa Clauses. However, Nicolau is more concerned with satisfying the most authentic wishes of some children, providing them with gifts that cannot be bought with money. Will the evil Santa Claus be able to put an end to the happiness that Nicolau offers?
