A bilingual (English/Spanish) northern New Mexico holiday cuento (story) told in an Old Time Radio style. It follows the transformation of 16 year old Antonio as he comes to understand the importance of a mother's role in everyone's life. Following in the magical realism traditions of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Jorge Luis Borges, Antonio talks with his tradition-bound Ceiling Fan and receives guidance from a birthing cow and his wild-eyed uncle, Tio Desiderio. A memorable fable to listen to while sipping hot chocolate by the fireplace
