It's December in the tiny town of Tisdale, Missouri, and Luna finds herself at a sprawling estate sale in an old Victorian house that smells of cinnamon and mothballs. The owner, Eleanor Hart, died alone in her sleep at eighty-three, leaving behind a lifetime of Christmas decorations. Luna picks up a small, hand-painted glass ornament — a Santa Claus with a strangely sad face — and when she holds it, she hears a whispered voice say, 'Don't put me on the tree.' She buys it anyway, and that night, in her own apartment, the whispering doesn't stop. It's not a threat, not a curse — it's a plea. And Luna begins to piece together who the Santa really belongs to: a little boy who died in that house forty years ago, and whose Christmas wish was never, ever to be forgotten. A quiet, grief-struck episode about the objects we leave behind and the voices that cling to them.
