THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS CONTINUES! The Train is laid to rest in the Graves of Arheled, and Farmer Merriweather, the human guise of St. Nicholas, is free to continue selling toys at his farm store, in addition to firing up his ancient Workshop in the reconquered North Pole. But children are vanishing, and some of them are of the Hogan family, who are known to be staunch Sons of Christmas, so named for the calibur of their Christmas spirit. And train whistles are being heard, in a town where no railroad has existed for 50 years. When Merriweather Farm is invaded by ninjas wielding Antichristmas weapons, and both Farmer Merriweather and Arheled are reported missing, Charles, the Hunter and the Elf Nichole chase a mysterious sleek modern train that travels in the same enchanted manner as the Train of Christmas. And there they find that an evil has arisen that is so subtle it can use Christmas itself against them....Secularism. To be exact, the Secular Santa, Santa Claus himself, divorced from St. Nicholas. And this foe cannot be battled. Christmas now must make war on Christmas.
