🎄 This is the perfect season for magical stories!
📖 Here we will share one such story that occurred in the days leading up to Christmas.
 
The most magical night of the year is approaching. The night when dreams come true. The night when the world is renewed. The night when everything is possible.

In Santa’s house, everything was ready for Christmas work. The presents were wrapped and put into bags. The bags were loaded into the sleigh. The sleigh was given a fresh coat of paint and decorated with garlands.

– Ho-ho-ho! It’s time for me to hit the road: no one should go without a present. Elves, bring my sleigh and the reindeer! 
– Santa, something bad has happened! The sleigh is ready, but the reindeer are nowhere to be seen. The stalls are empty… The reindeer must have not returned from their evening walk.
– Let’s ask Yeti. Maybe he saw them. He usually goes around the forest in the evenings and checks that everything is in order.
– Oh, and here he comes! Yeti, have you seen Santa’s reindeer? They did not return from their walk yesterday.
– There was a big storm this evening. I’m afraid they lost their way and got lost. But I know where they might have got lost.
– Quickly lead us there! We must save them! After all, if the reindeer do not return, there will be no Christmas!

Santa stayed at home in case some of the reindeer managed to find their way home. And the elves set off on search with Yeti through the forest.

A pale sun rose, its thin rays painting the winter forest in silver light. The trees stood in festive attire, fragile lace of frost glittered on their branches. Barely noticeable paths led deep into this kingdom, where the spirits of ancient fairy tales lived among the shadows and rays. Their presence was felt in barely perceptible rustles and bright highlights.

Even the elves, long accustomed to everything magical, looked around in fascination and tried to step as quietly as possible, so as not to disturb the solemn silence with a sharp sound.

– There’s a village! – Yeti suddenly exclaimed, pointing towards the lights flickering through the trees. – That’s where I spotted the reindeer yesterday. We should take a look around, study everything properly – maybe we’ll see some tracks! 

– Yeti, it’s hard to find anything after a snowstorm. Let’s ask the locals first. Maybe they saw any reindeer nearby.

The locals confirmed that they had seen reindeer the previous evening and pointed out the direction in which to begin the search.

Yeti and the elves stocked up on equipment and treats for the reindeer at the local shop. The poor things were probably cold and hungry!

The friends soon saw tracks. Reindeer had recently passed through here!

Dasher was spotted near the village. They fed him, warmed him up and showed him a shortcut to the village. Then Dancer and Prancer were found. They said that they had heard the voices of other reindeer nearby, but were too exhausted to try to reach them.

And indeed, Comet, Donner and Vixen were found very close by, covered in snow. There were only three reindeer left to find!

After a hot treat, Donner said that he had seen hoofprints a little further north. Yeti and the elves had one last spurt left. Sinking in the deep snow, they moved north.

– Look, there’s someone lying under the tree! – one of the elves cried out.

Yeti took a closer look.

– Cupid, is that you? We found you just in time! 

– Thank you, friends. I was so tired and cold that I couldn’t stand on my feet anymore. Blitzen and Rudolph are here too. Check those snowdrifts in the thicket.

The last two reindeer were indeed found there. Yeti couldn’t be happier that everything ended well.

– All the reindeer are healthy! The villagers found new harnesses for them, and all nine are ready to go to Santa. Bon voyage! 

– What an adventure! – the elves nodded. – We never thought we would be saving Santa’s reindeer. 

– And you know what, my friends? We saved Christmas! Now people all over the world will get their presents! And we can relax. 

– Let’s help the villagers decorate everything for Christmas! They were so kind to us and to Santa’s reindeer. We want to thank them! 

– Let’s do it! Let joy and a sense of celebration come to every home!

The long-awaited time of year is coming to a small village, when every corner comes alive with magic. A majestic fir tree rises on the main square – a forest beauty, which seems to have been chosen by nature itself as the main symbol of the holiday.

The villagers come and decorate the tree with twinkling lights all together. Toys, passed down from generation to generation and each with its own story, find their place on the branches, creating a kaleidoscope of bright memories. Garlands are already flying up, decorating the roofs and facades of village houses. Their twinkling is reflected in the snow-covered windows, which reflect the light of the warm hearts of the people living inside.

On the other side of the square, a fair is unfolding. Traditional treats beckon on the stalls, decorated with spruce branches and colorful ribbons: aromatic cookies with cinnamon and ginger, fresh pies, still slightly steamed, honey gingerbread…

Here you can find everything that will warm you up on cold evenings: warm mittens and handmade shawls, dolls and wooden toys created by skilled hands of craftsmen. The air is filled with cheerful laughter and the fabulous aroma of hot mulled wine, enveloping each guest in warmth and comfort.

This village, covered in Christmas magic and light, is like a living reminder of how precious these moments of happiness are.
