When Christmas magic meets academic paranoia, someone's getting more than coal in her stocking
Eliza Morgan is a brilliant, neurotic doctoral student who approaches Christmas tree decorating like a military operation-complete with laminated placement guides and load distribution analysis. When a mysterious invitation arrives via chimney (clearly a security breach requiring immediate investigation), she's convinced she's stumbled onto an elaborate cult recruitment scheme.
Her girlfriend Riley thinks the magical toy workshop is adorable. Eliza thinks it's a sophisticated psychological operation. But when her relentless conspiracy theories and academic superiority start hurting people's feelings, she discovers that Mrs. Claus has a cheerful ping-pong paddle and zero tolerance for bratty behavior.
Between getting spanked by Santa's wife, following glowing magical footprints through downtown, and trying to rationalize singing paint as "advanced acoustical manipulation," Eliza's carefully ordered world is falling apart. And when she learns the shocking truth, she'll have to choose between her theories and her heart.
