Here's the Christmas entry, like I promised. :)
December 25, 1835
Deer Elsa,
Merry Christmas! I wish you could see the castle. It's so prety, like always. Gerda wrapped garlend around the spiral stair case and Kai hung wreaths. I helped agen, of course. Kai and Gerda are always happy when I help. I didn't get a lot of presents, but I got some. I can't remember most of them, but my favrite is a prety pink jewlry box that Mama and Papa gave me. When I open it, there's a balerina in a white dress that twirls around to tinkling music. I didn't know what it was, so I asked Mama and she sed it's from Swan Lake. I didn't know what that was, either, and she sed it's a balet, a fancy dance. I don't care what it plays, it's the pretiest thing I've ever gotten. I don't have any jewlry yet, so I'm putting some of my favrite things in it, insted.
Luv,
Anna
Dear Anna,
I'm so glad you had a nice Christmas, despite the fact that once again, I couldn't be there to celebrate with you. I'm sure the castle is pretty, as you say so every year. (Don't tell anyone, but I convinced Kai to get me a little tree for my room. It's small enough that I can hide it when somebody comes. I don't have anything to put on it, but it makes me feel good to have my own tree.)
What a coincidence that Mama and Papa got you a musical jewelry box, because I got one, too! Except mine is blue, unlike yours. I figured yours would be pink, as I know that's your favorite color. It's nice to have something musical like that (and also my snowflake music box), because when I'm having a bad day, I can wind it up and just let the music wash over me. It calms me down and I feel better after listening to it. It takes me to my happy place, if you know what I mean.
Love,
Elsa
