Synopsis (if you don't understand the video):
The story takes place in a Christmas tree.  At night, when the family is asleep, the ornaments on the tree come alive.  Two particular ornaments, angel musicians, play a charming violin and lute duet that the other ornaments dance to.  But they are not the only musicians in the tree.  Three Santas who play the horn, trumpet and saxophone grow jealous of the angel duet, so they plan to stop them from playing.  They attack the angels and throw the lute player off the tree.  The lute player survives, but his wings have broken off.  He sees his partner above him, but he doesn't have his wings and can't fly up.  He feels like giving up until the toy train beneath the tree arrives.  The conductor sees the lute player's plight and offers to bring him back up the tree.  However, the train can only circle around the tree and can't go above.  The lute player thanks the conductor anyway.  Then he looks up and see one ornament hung low on the tree, a ballerina.  The ballerina shows the lute player her missing hand and assures him that just because he is broken doesn't mean things are hopeless.  Later, one of the members of the family finds the broken lute player on the floor and glues his wings back on, hanging him next to his partner.  The angel duet is together once again and the Santas, sorry for what they had done, turn it into a quintet.
