The Vampire Santa I: The Begining
A benevolent 17th-century toymaker leaves his shop one night to take some toys to children whose parents can't afford them. On his way back, he meets some attractive women with exaggerated orthodontics, and what he's become still exists in the present, still judges who are naughty and nice but few would call him benevolent.
