"Jeff Goode has turned a bit of Russian history into a warm-hearted homage... could make Goode's play a staple offering during many future Christmas seasons"
---Back Stage West
In the dark days of the young Soviet Union, one incendiary figure represents the moral decay and decadence of the West. His name? Santa Claus.

When Christmas is purged from the Communist calendar, a cynical journalist under threat of exile to Siberia is forced to find reason to defend the Soviet Santa.
