This critically acclaimed one-actor show takes place at Christmas present and past, as David (a guy so obsessed with sustaining his kids belief in Santa he's developed a long list of rules everyone in the family must follow) appears with a wooden box of "historical artifacts" to deliver a whopping, holiday roller-coaster of a tale.
