The entire story of Christmastide is here depicted. The scene opens in a large boudoir of an apparently wealthy man's home. His children, assisted by their governess, are about to retire.

We see the housetops of the town and angels are flying about depositing packages in each of the chimneys. (Edison Catalog)
