One of the main reasons why the story is not told from the first point of view is that, by having an omniscient perspective, we can look into the mind and the heart of both protagonists. This allows us to discover how they feel about each other, and how the feel about Christmas. This supports the theme of them being as wise as the Magi.

Another important reason is that the omniscient perspective contributes to the development of irony, as the reader is aware of the circumstances surrounding the gifts before the characters are.

</span>Further analyzing the poem, we can observe that the narrator's POV is first person, and the message that the poem passes across is that being a nobody isn't as bad as people think it is.
