In The Box, a Christmas story, the Child is starry-eyed over all of her Christmas gifts. She delights in ripping open her mound of presents and scattering them all across the floor. The Old One sits in her rocking chair, waiting patiently for the Child to discover one last plain paper box. As she peels open the cardboard lid and peeks inside, the Old One helps her understand the true meaning of Christmas, forever touching her life.
