Plot

Two men, one older, one younger, sit on a bench during the Christmas shopping season, waiting for their wives. As they get to know each other, Christmas happens around them; the Mall players present a five-minute version of “A Christmas Carol”; a homeless man tells a bizarre tale, then sings “O Holy Night”; A Jewish woman, a greeter at the department store, recites a portion of “A Child’s Chanukah in Pittsburgh”; and one of the men turns out to be not quite who we think he is.
