It''s a cold, crispy Christmas Eve as three excited children await the onset of Christmas Day.. The children are aged 3yrs (girl) - who is 101% innocent and naive and who looks up to her big brother of 4yrs - who is always asking questions - and 7yrs (''Big know-it-all Sister'') - who is full advice to siblings and of challenging questions to parents. The two Parents consist of a ''Career'' Mum, who is also an overworked home cleaner, cook, grocery shopper, childcare nursery transport and everything else on demand ..... but who is always kind and empathetic towards her precious children and ''darling'' husband. Dad is just generally ''overworked'' and gets easily irritated when put into situations he cannot control. He tends to ''boil over'' internally whilst desperately trying not to show it externally, apart from sweaty outbreaks of internal torment - but he''s also kind and loving towards his children and wife. This the story of the day before Christmas Morning and just how the children are transported from feelings of doubt and confusion about Santa''s identity into the realms of absolute joy and acceptance of the knowledge that his visit to them became a reality.
