Hey guys. Once again, I apologize for the late update. I've been busy the last couple of days. Thursday was Thanksgiving and I was spending time with my family, Friday, I was sick, and yesterday I worked all day and just wasn't in the mood. But here's the next installment, Christmas Day. Thanks for all the reviews! I appreciate them! :)

I like helping. Gerda ses im a good dekerater. I wish you were helping us to. We had lots of fun. Papa ses that even tho you went away that doesnt meen we cant stil hav dekerations at Christmas.

Thank you for the choclates. I hid them under my pillo so no one can eat them but me. I made you a present to. Mama ses she will giv it to you later.

Dear Anna,

I'm so glad you like the chocolates. I knew you would, so that's why I got them for you. Well, actually, Mama did, but I told her to tell you that they were from me. Thank you for the beautiful drawing of us decorating a Christmas tree. It reminds me of all the happy times we shared together before I had to leave you. Mama gave me a present, too. It's a journal, a book with empty pages that you can write on. She said I can use it to record my thoughts and feelings. But I'm just going to use it for my letters to you. There's a pocket in the back for special items, which I'm using to hold all your letters.

I tried to come out today to see you, just for a few minutes, but I barely took one step outside my room and I froze the carpet. It scared me, so I ran back inside and locked the door. I wish my magic would go away, but it just won't. Maybe I'll try next year. I miss you, too. You're right; Christmas just isn't the same without us being together.

Love,

Elsa

Well, that takes care of winter. Next chapter, I'll be time-jumping again to early spring, probably March or April.

Thanks for reading! More chapters coming soon! :)
