Three days are particularly important in the life of a boarding school girl: the day when she gets her certificates, the beginning of the vacations and, of course, Christmas, because Santa Claus comes with his good gifts. What he pulls out of his sack makes the tender teenagers melt. Even the teachers are impressed by Santa's rod.
