During the Christmas season, Kirk visits his sister Bridgette to meet up with the whole family. The whole house is decorated for Christmas and everyone is in a good mood. They celebrate, dance, eat the feast and have brought many presents. Only Kirk's brother-in-law Christian is not infected by the cheerfulness. He is influenced by Christianity and means that the festive hustle and bustle has nothing to do with the original Christmas. He also says that there is no Santa Claus at all in the Bible and that Christmas time today is only beneficial for commercial interests. Kirk listens to these views and is now trying to rearrange the Christmas party so that everyone can enjoy it, including Christian.
