Christmas Outside Of Eden

Adam and Eve have angered God, and been cast out of Eden with all of the animals. Eve and the animals blame Adam for the misfortune.

Only the dog and the robins remain faithful to him. Life is no longer one of ease, and toil and hardship arise.

But the birth of Eve's first child leads to the first Christmas outside of Eden, and the beginning of a reconciliation with God.
