The opening sets a picturesque scene of solitude and contemplation, hinting at themes of generosity and the warmth of human connection. The beginning of the story presents John Norton on Christmas Eve, alone in his cabin, sharing his thoughts as he reads a book by the fire with his two hounds beside him. He muses over the meaning of the season, contemplating his responsibilities to those less fortunate. When he realizes the potential suffering of a woman and her children living nearby, he resolves to prepare a basket of supplies for them. As he makes his plans, the arrival of his friend Wild Bill, who brings an unexpected heavy box, adds an element of surprise and anticipation for the ensuing Christmas festivities, suggesting that the true spirit of Christmas is about giving and compassion towards others.
