- While no temporal or spatial setting is explicitly given in this story outside of Christmas on Earth, the use of a gramophone suggests the 20th century; while the character's names, the reference to the Weihnachtsmann, and the title of the story ("Oh Christmas Tree" in German) suggest a setting in Germany.
