Dear Diary,
Gerda says Mama and Papa aren't coming back in time for Christmas. I'm pretty sad, but I guess there's always next year! I'm almost done with my Christmas presents for them. I made these cute little snowman dolls out of old socks! Gerda helped me put them together, and I even made one for Elsa! His name is Olaf...but I can't figure out how to give him a nose. I think I might just give him a button nose since I can't find a carrot small enough, plus Gerda says the carrot would rot if I put it on a doll.
It's starting to get colder, and last night the sky was awake so I couldn't sleep. I can't wait until it starts to snow! If it snows on Christmas that would be so magical!
I have to go now. I think Kai is making fresh chocolate. I can smell it from my room! Time to go grab a piece!
Love,
Anna
