"Bangungot"
Marionne goes on a date with Jerome at an amusement park. However, a mysterious woman warns Marionne not to sleep otherwise she will die. Before the woman can exit the park, a red cloaked figure strangles her to death.
In her dorm, Marionne wakes startlingly, realizing it was a dream. Her officemate Tatin then sees her drawing a picture of the red-cloaked figure that strangled the woman in her dream. She recalls that her grandfather died of a bangungot (nightmare), which Tatin dismissrs. Marionne, concerned for her grandfather's past, unlocks the latter's room. Shortly after setting foot, eerie things fly in the air.
The young woman was revealed to be a candle saleslady. She and Tatin have been friends. One day, her brother Tonton and a handsome man arrived at the shop. This man was Jerome. The latter informs them that he will be leaving for one week; shockingly, he was engaged to a woman named Florence, a fact that Marionne became jealous of.
Later on, a young girl wants to order a large candle. Marionne notices the strange-looking parchment with strange words written in ink. She asks the girl's purpose for the candle. The latter said that: "if you want to dream of your love ones, and him to you", she must light a candle before sleeping, and chant the words in the parchment. But she must wake up before the candle is consumed otherwise she cannot leave the dream.
Eager to try this, Marionne kept the parchment and did as the girl said. After the ritual was performed, eerie events began to manifest to Jerome and Marionne. The red-cloaked figure reappears and tries to strangle the two, but they dismiss the event as a hallucination. Late at night, Marionne visits Jerome in the office, complaining about insomnia. She and Jerome begin to hallucinate again: the phantom reappears and tries to strangle them again. As they comfort each other, Florence appears. Shocked by what she sees, she too is nearly strangled by the phantom but is comforted by Jerome. Seeing this, Marionne chases the two. Jerome and Florence walk out of the shop, finally ending up at the peak of an overpass. Florence stumbles and the phantom reappears, this time, Jerome confronts it and they both jump off the overpass, with that being revealed to be Florence's own dream.
Marionne, having witnessed the events, enters the hospital, where she realizes the shocking truth: she and Jerome entered a near-death state already after the spell was performed; this explains why Tonton, Florence and Tatin could not feel Marionne's presence. Florence and Tatin tell them everything, while Marionne sees herself performing the spell and then apparently dropping dead. Tatin shook and jerked her up but she would not respond. Florence's story matched Tatin's: the former found her fiancé hunched over a table in the candle shop but he was on the brink of death in his sleep.
Another thing is: Marionne's grandfather did not die of a nightmare but of a heart attack, and everything that had happened after the spell was performed had been Marionne's nightmare. Jerome on the other hand dreams about Marionne hugging him very tightly; it was revealed that the cloaked figure was Marionne all along. As Marionne and Jerome realize this, Florence cries and begs Jerome to wake up. Jerome tries his best, but Marionne holds him down, determined to spend eternity with the man she loves, but does not love her back. Marionne and Jerome both die, with Jerome dying first.

Saint Lucy's Day, also called the Feast of Saint Lucy, is a Christian feast day observed on 13 December. The observance commemorates Lucia of Syracuse, an early-fourth-century virgin martyr under the Diocletianic Persecution. According to legend, she brought food and aid to Christians hiding in the Roman catacombs, wearing a candle-lit wreath on her head to light her way, leaving both hands free to carry as much food as possible. Because her name means "light" and her feast day had at one time coincided with the shortest day of the year prior to calendar reforms, it is now widely celebrated as a festival of light. Falling within the Advent season, Saint Lucy's Day is viewed as a precursor of Christmastide, pointing to the arrival of the Light of Christ in the calendar on December 25, Christmas Day.

Weihnachtsbaum is a suite of 12 pieces written by Franz Liszt in 1873–76, with revisions in 1881. The suite exists in versions for solo piano and piano four-hands.

It occupies an unusual place in Liszt's output, and it may be for these reasons that it has received relatively little attention from performers.
