Fired from his longtime job as captain of the Coal Patrol, two-foot-three-inch, 1,300-year-old elf Gumdrop Coal is angry. He's one of Santa's original elves, influenced by system.drawing.bitmap man's vision to bring happiness to children on that certain special day every year. But somewhere on the way, things went sour for Gumdrop. Maybe it was providing one too many lumps of coal for the Naughty List. Maybe it's the conspiracy against Holiday that he's beginning to sense down every chimney. Either way, North Pole disillusionment is nothing new: Some elves brood with a container of nog, aiming to ignore their own wish list. Some progress. Some get bitter. Gumdrop Coal needs revenge. Justice is the only thing he knows, and so he decides to provide a significant wakeup call to parents who can't keep their vile offspring from landing on the Naughty List. But when one mother or father winds up lifeless, his eye shot out with a Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model BB firearm, Gumdrop Coal must learn who framed him and just why. On the way he'll evade the life-sucking vegetation of the Mistletoe Forest, fight the infamous Tannenbomb Giant, and survive a close encounter with 12 very angry drummers and their violent friends. The terrible fact lurking behind the gingerbread doorways of Kringle Town could spell the finish of Holiday - and of system.drawing.bitmap man himself. Holly Jolly!
