Christmas Outside of Eden

A timeless tale is whispered by robins perched on holly each Christmas Eve, a story that predates even the first carol. From their tiny throats comes a gentle myth of the world just beyond Eden’s golden gates, where the first laugh of creation mingles with snow‑covered branches. Listeners are invited to imagine the birds’ chuckles and the hush that follows, as the ancient narrative unfolds beneath the winter sky.

The narrative steps back to the dawn of all wonders, when sun, moon and stars were still finding their way and the first humans were driven out of the garden. As the man and woman adjust to life outside the walls, the surrounding creatures look to the man for guidance, while the robin chorus records their hopes and fears. The opening act blends mythic wonder with a tender, almost playful tone, setting the stage for a Christmas story that feels both primordial and warmly familiar.
