In the evening children admired the beauty-Christmas tree, near and on which were gifts: a new doll dress, hussars, etc. Marie dreams about the garden and a lake with swans, and Fritz says that he likes their parents’ gifts more, because he can play with them (godfather’s toys are usually kept away from children so that they do not break them), and godfather cannot make the whole garden. Everyone is preparing for Christmas, and the children - Fritz and Marie – are wondering what will this time they get for a present from an inventor and godfather, senior adviser to the court Drosselmeyer, who often repairs clocks in the Stahlbaum’s house. It is December 24, the house of Stahlbaum. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own. These notes were contributed by members of the GradeSaver community.
