The forest is a cozy place for Christmas creatures.

The snow had not yet arrived;
we sneaked out, into the sun-lit forest.

She guided the way down the invented garden path to the fortress

I can reveal nothing more. It is secret.
Deep in the heartwoods.

Nightfall fell.

Kids in pajamas (said with British accent);
tooth breeshed, upon our favourite hygienist's recommend.

Hopped in the automobile for surprise trip down Mount Norway.
Pulled into the drab house neighborhood turned BEAUTIFUL illuminated and alive with creatures from the Poles.
Zooey Deschanel & M. Ward dueting with us.

Slow drive, caroling to us.Then,
home to bed.
