“12 jõulujuttu” koosneb tosinast novellist. Neid kõiki ühendab see, et tegevus leiab aset jõulude ajal. Kuid pühalikku rahu ei oska tegelased saavutada, sest nad jäävad igasuguste probleemidega räheldes oludele jalgu ning mässivad end jaburatesse ja ennekuulmatutesse situatsioonidesse. Tegu oleks justkui lihtsate inimestega, kellel on aga keeruline hingeelu ja kes ei oska ega tahagi normaalselt elada.
