On a bitterly cold Christmas Eve, two poor children named Dymtro and Zoya play games together while they wait for their father, Federov, to return home from selling firewood. Their impatient landlady, Olha Petrina, comes to remind them that their rent is due, and she means to collect it. Federov returns, having sold hardly anything, and with nothing for Christmas dinner but dark bread. When Zoya cries over this, Federov reminds her that "We don't have much, but each other. Each other is so much." Although they have no gifts, the children convince their father to cut down a small tree to decorate their cottage. Federov brings in a sapling, which turns out to be home to a large spider. Although the children are afraid at first, the spider becomes their friend and takes part in a special Christmas miracle that reminds them all of the power of kindness and giving.
