Josefine’s birthday is on Christmas Eve, and she’s getting pretty tired of that. She decides to move Christmas and gets help from a magical nativity scene that sends her back to the time when Jesus was her own age. She becomes friends with Jesus, but a whole series of questions now arise: What about her classmate Oskar, who wants to be more than friends? And who is the mysterious Thorsen, the owner of the time machine?

Josefine hates Christmas because her birthday is on December 24th. And she has to share that with this Jesus. But their suggestions to abolish Christmas or at least postpone it are of course not met with any attention, because everyone else is looking forward to Christmas. And then Josephine is assigned the role of Mary in the nativity play... Meanwhile, in biblical times, due to a lack of other accommodation, Mary and Joseph end up in a stable in Bethlehem, where Mary gives birth to her child.

While the three wise men set out to find the baby Jesus in biblical times, Josefine and Oskar meet the mysterious stranger again who found Oskar's degus the evening before. His name is Mr. Thorsen and he runs an antique shop full of strange things. Josefine is immediately fascinated by him because he marks his shop with a sign as a “Christmas-free zone”.
