The short story "Noel," penned by Michael Plemmons in 1985, delves into the essence of Christmas, celebrating the birth of Christ, hope, light, and love for one another.

Charles Schultz's words, "It's not what's under the tree that matters, but who's around it," resonate with the story's theme.

It portrays the plight of orphans left without a caring family while shedding light on the exploitative nature of taking advantage of others.

Christmas is often associated with joyous children dancing around the tree, spreading happiness. However, the story "Noel" presents a problem faced by childless couples.

To address this, the option to rent an orphan for Christmas Eve is introduced, with the option to choose the child's gender, age, and appearance.
