What if your Christmas list... was actually being judged?
When a mysterious box labeled "Santa's Official Christmas List Drop Box (Nice Only. No Exceptions.)" shows up in the living room, everything changes.
At first, it seems fun-just drop your list inside and wait for Christmas.
But something isn't right.
Lists disappear.
A sticker appears: REVIEWED.
The box starts... moving.
And suddenly, being "nice" doesn't feel simple anymore.
As the pressure builds and mistakes start to matter, one worried kid begins to wonder:
What if Christmas isn't about being perfect... but about something else entirely?
