The strange claymation follows "Santa's Donkey" Nestor, who, unlike Santa's other donkey Spieltoe, had massive ears and can't do sh*t. Spieltoe has a slew of responsibilities while Santa is off delivering presents; he watches over the stables and pulls Santa's snowplow, but Nestor is a freak with massive ears who is hated by everyone in the stable except his own mother, who eventually dies. Sorry for the spoiler. When Nestor is kidnapped by Roman soldiers, the donkey escapes and fights to return home, where he meets a young lass named Mary Magdalene. Get it? He's the donkey that delivered Jesus: Ah, Christmas.
