Laura and her little brother Tom think they know what Christmas is all about. But then a thick candle on the Christmas tree suddenly starts talking to them. It is the candle Chris, who has already become famous as the communion candle in the successful book "The Story of Bread and Wine." Chris tells the children how God prepared for the birth of Jesus over a thousand years. The children learn exciting details about Jesus' parents and their time, and they get to know the inventors of the ox and donkey, the nativity play, and the Advent wreath. An enlightening experience for Christmas enthusiasts of all ages.
