sitting on a throne of lies

 It seems that Jonah still believes with his entire heart that Santa is the real deal.

My parents sent Jonah a postcard signed by Santa, 

and he's a little creeped out that Santa knows his name.

He asked for a remote controlled car.

 Venna is the best secret keeper I have ever met.

She has asked for Harry Potter books.

After Tuck observed his older siblings sit on the old man's lap he begrudgingly took his turn.

He needed no encouragement, but I could tell he thought the entire situation was bizarre.

Jonah helped Tucker ask for an Elmo.  

There will be no Elmo under the tree this year.

Santa ran out.
