My favorite thing in the entire book

The Wolves convincing Ox Santa Clause is real:

A thread: so it starts off innocently enough, it’s Christmas and Robbie and the other guys at the shop are simply talking shop and Christmas comes up.

Gordo reminds him that anything that he can think of is real out there… is real.

Ox doesn’t believe him

Carter and Kelly get involved and then Joe

Ox thinks Mark won’t lie, except Mark says he’s real to.

The Bennett Brothers now vow to make this the best Christmas Ox has ever had, with presents from “Mr. s” for everyone, Mark becomes their middle man and says ‘Santa’s real but only if you believe’ and if we’re being honest Ox got shit all his early life so he didn’t believe.

Then Christmas Day, “Santa came” and the childlike innocent way Ox’s eyes light up, though his heart is still ever so steady, the brothers realize they made a mistake and now have to do this every year.

Because to Ox, Santa is real.

Elizabeth doesn’t step in because she doesn’t see any harm in it, she’s never seen her boys get so excited about Christmas before this.
