On Christmas Eve, thick, white snowflakes slowly drifted from the sky. Glittering ice gently covered the hilly landscape and turned it into a white, dreamlike idyll. Although it had been snowing for hours, the sky had now cleared up and revealed its warm hues of blue. Far away, on the horizon, you could see stars glittering like crystals which illuminated a small, deep-set valley. It was said that this was a special place, a magical place full of miracles. A Christmas fairy tale as a short story for children and adults. The age of 5-8 years is only a recommendation.
