The Santa Claus Machine by G. B. Pool
In
order to modernize his image, Santa builds a series of Santa robots that are
sent to stores around the world. They are programmed to tell Santa’s stories
and record children’s wishes. An unscrupulous sales manager at the largest
department store chain in America
along with their computer engineer, kidnap the real Santa and hide him in an
ice cave. They reprogram the Santa Claus Machines to encourage children to ask
for more and more toys. When Santa learns about the change, he becomes
disheartened and thinks he might have to cancel Christmas.
