Weeks before Christmas Eve, the child who is no longer so small experiences a certain hard-to-describe excitement.

He wants everything to be just as he thinks it should be and carefully ensures that nothing is forgotten.

On the threshold of puberty, he is torn between knowing and not wanting to know, yet he voluntarily writes a wish list and places it carefully where the Christ Child might see it.

In the end, when candles and presents shine under the tree, it no longer matters who brought the gifts.
