The sledge stopped at last before Poppy's house. Her mother stood at the door and welcomed her."You're back at last".
And Poppy told her mother about all her adventures and the wonderful things that had happened.
Perhaps, one day , you too can ride on a sleigh to the Snow Kingdom.
from the book The story of the Snow Children by Sibylle von Olfers.
Nothing like getting lost in a good story at this time of year.
