A Christmas story for Santiago

Here is how a story called "Santiago's Tiny Tree and the Broken Wing" might begin:

Santiago loved his tiny Christmas tree, even if it barely reached his knee. It twinkled bravely in the corner of their city apartment, a little green beacon amidst the skyscrapers. He was carefully adjusting a miniature gingerbread man ornament when a gust of wind, unusually strong even for the city, whistled through the slightly-open window. It wasn’t just a chilly breeze; it carried with it a whisper of something metallic, then a soft thud. Santiago looked down. Lying on the worn rug, right beside the brave little tree, was a small, polished wooden piece, carved with a delicate snowflake, clearly part of something grander. It looked like a broken wing from a very special toy.

What happens next? Santiago quickly realizes this small wooden piece is a crucial component of a much larger, and very important, Christmas contraption.
