Synopsis:

"The mysterious owner of a costume shop rents a Santa Claus suit to three very different men: a mousy high school math teacher (Bob) trying to get the nerve to propose, a homeless man (Stan) trying to hide from the mob, and a harried Senator's aide (Gilbert) spending Christmas with his estranged wife and son. Their lives are inexorably changed by their experience of playing Santa Claus."
