Santa Claus:

OW: Scott Calvin is just a simple man that works developing toys. He is in no way anyone extraordinary or special to anyone but himself/
CA: While the Santa Claus is delivering toys to Scott's son Charlie, Scott scares Santa and falls off of the roof. When he falls, Santa disappears. Scott then puts on the Santa suit and is obligated to fulfill the role of Santa Claus.
RC: When Scott is confronted with his obligation, he refuses to do it. He wants to continue his life at his job and is convinced that Santa Claus is not real.
MM: Santa's (Scott's) head elf Bernard then does everything he can to help Scott convert into the Santa Claus he is suppossed to become. Without Bernard, the transition would have been much more difficult.
CT:Once Scott visited the North Pole, he finally came to realize that maybe this "Santa" thing is real. Children seemed to recognize him even when he wasn't in his suit.  He is no longer in denial.
TAE: Now that he believes that is is truely Santa Claus, his ex-wife and her new husband are concerned for his mental stability and Charlie's welfare when he is with Scott. They then call the cops once Charlie goes missing to the North Pole, and they get Scott thrown in jail.
IC: Once Scott's elves rescue him from jail, he goes and prepares for Christmas and the stress that it brings.
O: During his ordeal, he is not allowed to see Charlie. His family life goes up in flames and he isn't convinced that it can somehow be normal again.
R: He returns Charlie home and somehow convinces his family that he truely is Santa Claus, and the family has a huge bonding moment.
RB: Now that his family is n order, he now has to head back to the North Pole and prepare for Christmas.
R: His return to his family is considered a physical resurrection, but his renewed dedication to Santa Claus is more of a mental resurrection.
RE: The final reward is all of the joy that he brings to not only the children in being Santa Claus, but also the personal joys it brings aswell.
