It was a nice and oft said story, albeit in various versions: A father has to be out of the house, so he leaves the younger son in care of the elder. The younger son is energetic and somewhat of a nuisance to the elder, more studios brother. The elder brother, wanting to read books, tells the younger boy to leave the house and play outside.
Outside the house, the young boy is kidnapped by someone evil. In this case, it was Santa Clause's evil brother. In other variations, in can be a wolf or another identifiably bad character. The older brother has scruples, a moral self-debate, and a sense of responsibility. He tries to do something to save his brother.
Ded Moroz Waiting for Metro
In his quest to save his brother, bigger benevolent forces come to aid the older boy. In these types of stories, it is normally Santa Clause (the Russian Дед Мороз or Ded Moroz) and his daughter, the Snow Maiden (Снегурочка or Snegúrochka) that come to the rescue. However, being housed in the Christ the Savior Church, the savior was none other that Christ the Savior himself.
Santa Was Busy With Deliveries, So I Helped Out
In a cameo appearance, a giant statue of Christ, with his arms extended to resemble the cross, swept down onto the stage. And thus, the younger boy was saved and the father was reunited with his sons, thanks to Father and His Son, Christ the Savior.
Merry Christmas.
