In return, Nikolas crafts handmade toys as farewell presents for the children of these families as a token of gratitude.
As the years pass, the number of families that have adopted Nikolas grows, and his selfless act of giving becomes a cherished Christmas tradition in the village. Almost every home wakes up to find presents on their doorstep on Christmas morning, all made by Nikolas. This tradition brings immense joy and happiness to the children and further strengthens the bond among the villagers.
However, at the age of thirteen, Nikolas is sent to live with Iisakki, a grumpy and stern carpenter. Iisakki, not understanding the importance and significance of the gifts, forbids Nikolas from continuing to make presents for Christmas. Despite Iisakki's disapproval, Nikolas secretly continues his annual project, guided by his unwavering dedication to spreading joy to the children.
Over time, Nikolas manages to win over Iisakki's trust and the two of them begin collaborating on creating the presents for Christmas. Working side by side, they bring back the tradition that Nikolas had initiated, ensuring that the children of Lapland will continue to have magical Christmases.
However, as Iisakki grows old and frail, he must leave Nikolas and the village to live elsewhere. This departure throws the future of the Christmas gift-giving tradition into uncertainty.

This hidden village becomes a place filled with love, laughter, and the spirit of Christmas, making sure that children all around the world receive presents on Christmas morning even to this day.
