Amazing Stories : Santa 85' (1985)

Made for NBC,  airing December 15th in the US.
Season 1. Episode 11.
The story: It's Christmas Eve. Bobby has explained to his parents that the other kids told him there is no such thing as Santa Claus.
His parents attempt reassuring Bobby, but as he lays down to sleep he is still not quite sure.
While Santa is just ready to dash off into the night, Mrs. Claus makes him aware that a lot of people have lost their sense of the holiday and what it all is supposed to mean.
Trusting as always, Santa fluffs off Mrs. Claus' warning, and off he goes.
When Santa arrives at Bobby's house, the chimney is locked uptight.
Santa is quite the sly, crafty fellow so he decides he can just climb in through the living room window.
While Bobby's parents excitedly wrap gifts, they hear their silent alarm go off.
Yep, Santa did it.
Off to jail, the police take Santa, in a van with many more drunken, thieving shopping mall Santas.
Santa protests his arrest but he isn't sure how or what to say.
