to make it retain Evan’s belief of Santa, Jessica goes to extreme, sweet lengths.
Uh oh: We almost arrived at a Santa Claus truther moment for Evan.
For some kids, its a distinctly harrowing time.

But I was older when I learned than Evan is during the Christmas of 1995.
Hes still in the throes of youth and enamored with the mysticism of Santa.
Similarly, the Huangs are all into Christmas and everything it offers.
Jessicas miniature holiday wonderland, the aptly named Jessica Town, is her favorite thing.
Sure, Louis erred by buying two bookshops with stern, competitive owners, meaning theres no bakery.
But its clearly the highlight of her Christmas.
The man in red velvet never graduated college and is labor, not management.
Jessicas solution for Santa is simple enough: boost his CV!
Mr. Claus crafted his international vessel with his fancy Ivy League engineering degree.
Thus begins Jessica and Louis long descent into rewriting the story of Santa Claus.
And hes doing a killer job, explaining to Evan with possible wonky science how his sleigh was designed.
Not bad for one of Orlandos top 100 dentists!
The reason why there are white Santas in malls is because the Master Claus is Chinese!
Jessicas stubbornness shines once again to Louis dismay, weaving a thicker web of lies to catch Evans childhood.
This strategy almost subjected Evan to sheer embarrassment, at the risk of preserving a secret.
The shows version of Orlando only recently became acquainted to the Huangs and Asian-Americans.
Evans speech began rousing onlookers, but devolved into an argument over values and culture.
And all Jessica and Louis could do was look on.
Maybenowthe jig would be up.
It would have been if not for Honeys ace make-up abilities learned during the touring production ofCats.
Now its time for the weekly dose of nostalgia in these recaps:90s moments, ranked:
8.
Non-traditional Santa snacks:Actually, this is more so a thing now.
Healthy Santa snacks is so 2015.
Death, taxes, Grandma asserting herGarfieldfandom: lifes certainties.
Music videos:[Obligatory remember when MTV played music videos?
How did anyone fake literary discussions before the Internet?
3.Guarding Tess:A prissy Shirley MacLaine… protected by a way-into-his-job Nicholas Cage?
Louis should have been happier to receive this from Eddie.
2.Cats:Catswas huge.
The original Broadway run went from 1982 to 2000.
It was impossible to not know a Jellicle in your life.
Or hear Memory at every single high school talent show ever.
Honey was the personal make-up assistant to the Skimbleshanks, the railway cat himself.
Andrew Lloyd Webber outdid himself, creating a timeless musical thats a true relic of the late 20th century.
But this is Emerys corner.
He strives to craft the perfect gift for each of his family members.
Sure, Grandma didnt remember the historical novel he wrote based on her life.
He slaves over the bakery replica his mom needs to complete Jessica Town.
He sculpts a CHOCOLATE BUST OF HIS DAD!
Fortunately he was redeemed by way of Grandmas reckless Nerf Boomerang toss.
Step aside, papier-mache: Emery elevated the kid gift game.
