A narrator recalls Christmas gift debacle as he and his wife resolve to let each other pick gifts. He finds a dark oak Morris chair but the purchase collides with his wife naming same initials as a prior buyer. In the end Ellen buys the chair while both chase festive surprises and practical presents.
A nostalgic reminiscence in the voice of James Whitcomb Riley recalling Christmas lore, Santa Claus legends, and family scenes by the fire. The speaker, remembering childhood wonder, contrasts the old tale with adult knowledge and the warmth of holiday memory.
