Diego já sabe muito bem que seu irmão só liga para ele em duas situações: no Natal e quando precisa de um favor. Mas dessa vez, unindo o inútil ao desagradável, Diogo decide inovar e pede um favor natalino: que Diego seja o Papai Noel na festa da escola dos sobrinhos. O problema é que Diego odeia o Natal. E fazer favores. Fugindo de todas as comemorações e decidido a deixar o irmão se virar, Diego recebe a visita de três espíritos natalinos (tal qual Ebenezer Scrooge) que são a cara dos seus sobrinhos e trazem a mensagem de que o Natal quer fazer as pazes.

«Quest’estate, non sapendo cosa fare, ho formato un comitato per il fiume Lambro sito Unesco. Subito ho avuto cinque adesioni.» È solo l’inizio di questa storia, un atto dovuto per rimediare a una clamorosa ingiustizia. Non è possibile infatti che Milano sia sede di un unico sito, quando per trovarne a decine basta un giro sul Lambro: dalla baia dei lavandini – il primo lavandino vecchio vi fu gettato da Giovanni il Pirla – alle colonie di mangiatori di girini, fino alle lettere d’amore infilate nelle bottiglie vuote del Vernel.

So he does what anyone in his position would do: He leaves Jared at the airport.

It is their realizations, insights, and inner changes that move the collection along.
