In the middle of the night, a boy named Alfred just went to sleep in his gingerbread house after playing in the snow all day. Unexpectedly the snowman he had built earlier came to life. Feeling confused, the snowman tried to walk a few steps. After a few moments he came to a realization that his carrot nose is missing. He tried to look around to find his nose but he had no result. He entered the gingerbread house in hopes of finding his nose. But all he found was the little boy Alfred. Feeling curious, with his wooden stick arms he touched the boy, making him awake. Confused and scared the boy screamed when he saw the snowman he previously built come to life. He was fascinated by the snowman and how he is alive, so he asked him “Ho..how are you alive..?” The snowman then replied “I don’t know, are you the one that built me?” While being cautious the boy asked “What’s your name?”The snowman said that he didn’t have a name so the boy named him Olaf. Olaf talked to Alfred about his missing nose, but Alfred also has no clue where it is. Olaf became sad knowing that he would never have his nose back. But Alfred didn’t want to give up, so he decided to take Olaf on an adventure to find his nose. They went around the gingerbread town but found no clue on the nose. Until Alfred suddenly noticed behind Olaf was a little orange color pointing out. He asked Olaf what it was but Olaf didn’t know. He immediately took out the orange thing from Olaf and what a surprise. It was Olaf’s carrot nose, it must have fallen and went inside Olaf's snow body. They both laughed it out and hugged each other. They went back to the gingerbread house and played for a while. Without her realizing it was already the morning. Olaf started to melt from the sun’s heat. Alfred knew that it was time to say goodbye so he hugged him the last time and said goodbye. Olaf melted and left his eye, nose and arm. Olaf was the best friend Alfred had. Suddenly a bright light appeared out of nowhere and there was a ceiling. It turned out that Alfred had woken up and it was all just a dream. A dream that Alfred won’t forget.

       Then one of the gingerbread remembered about the time machine Santa once spoke about. Elfs interrupted, saying it might be hidden in Santa’s warehouse. They searched for a few minutes and finally found it. Luckily the time machine worked and they got back in time searching for the herb in a place not inhabited by humans until they found and collected it from a small island in the Atlantic Ocean. They quickly made the cure for Santa, after that, Santa thanked the gingerbreads and elfs, they could finally have the celebration.

He ran to chase the police car which led to somewhere else. It took some time for him to chase the car because the road was heavily trafficked. Not only traffic, there was a small car accident because the road was too slippery, so the police car had to stop to help them. Fortunately, after an hour of walking through the cold and snowy night, Peter and the girl arrived at their parents' house safely. Then, they said thank you to the reindeer. The girl asked the reindeer to stay with her family, but he said that he had to get back to where he belongs. So, they said the last goodbye to him, and he left.

Suddenly, as soon as Svan finished his wish, a portal-like hole started to open and swirl from under him causing him to fall right through it. “AHHHH!!!” he screamed again and again. The portal seemed endless as he kept falling.

Finally, he saw the ends of the portal and dropped straight to the middle of a rapidly approaching snowboard. “AHH!” he screamed again. It seems to Svan that screaming has become an effect of that accursed portal.

“Watch it, Svan!” a voice said right as he jumped out of the way of the teen boy who was on the snowboard.

“Huh? Oh! Uh… Sorry!” he stuttered out.

“Yeah, it’s fine. Oh, by the way, are you still going to the Christmas party tonight?” the boy asked, but Svan heard none of it. He looked down at himself, touched his face and hands, and felt real. He felt… human.

“I’m a boy. I’m a real boy!” he exclaimed to himself, jumping up and down, surprising the other boy who chuckled and replied with, “Yeah dude you are. Did you just become Pinocchio or something?”

“Huh? Pinnochio? Oh, no no no. Not Pinocchio.” Svan answered after a while.

There was a small minute silence before suddenly Svan screamed again, “Wait… CHRISTMAS PARTY?”

The boy cringed and was about to answer before Svan cut him off, “YEAH! YEAH, I’LL BE THERE!”

“This is amazing!” he thought to himself as he ignored the boy and started running downhill.

As he kept running while thinking of the Christmas party, he accidentally tripped over a bundle of wooden sticks and fell again, closing his eyes in surprise. 

A few minutes after, he opened his eyes warily and saw a different scene. It was nighttime again and he was no longer a human boy.

“AW MAN!!!” he screamed again unable to move his wooden stick arms once more.

One day, there was a grandmother who lived alone in a small house that was located in the north pole. At 6 pm she decided to make gingerbread to celebrate Christmas. When finished baking, she was really surprised because the gingerbread moved and spoke. “Hello old granny, thanks for grilling me.” said Gingerbread. Grandma was so shocked until she fainted. Gingerbread who saw it panicked. He ran to all corners of the house to ask for help but instead he crashed into a large cupboard until he was unconscious. The grandmother who had woken up from her fainting immediately packed up her things and left her house. 

In the middle of the night, gingerbread woke up. He was confused about where the old grandmother was. He searched the whole house but couldn't find Grandma. He screamed as loud as he could, hoping that the old woman could hear his screams. There is no response and only the sound of the night wind can be heard. The time has shown 1 am in the morning but grandmother is still not home. Gingerbread decided to find the grandmother. 

After that, he opens the door and the night wind stabs his skin. He saw a big and dark forest. He decided to go into that forest. Cold sweat started to appear and hands kept shaking. He walked around the forest for 2 hours and still didn’t find Granny. “Where is the old granny? I'm tired." said Gingerbread. He decided to take a short break. Not long after that a wolf came. The wolf that was hungry looked at the Gingerbread with sparkling eyes. Gingerbread was terrified and ran as fast as the wind. However, his legs are not as fast as a wolf. The wolf immediately ate the gingerbread. 

Some time later, Joseph and Mary had to travel to Bethlehem, a long way from Nazareth. Mary’s babies are about to be born and so they are very slow. When they arrived in Bethlehem, they had no room to live in because all the inns and rooms were occupied. The couple was in the barn, a goat and a horse, and on the very night Jesus was born. Jesus is placed in a manger (feeding place) after birth and wrapped in a cloth.

On the outskirts of Bethlehem, their shepherds saw an angel appear before them. The angel said to them: “Your messiah was born in Bethlehem today. He is lying in the manger ”. When the shepherds ran back to find Joseph, Mary, and Jesus in the barn, they were surprised and happy.

At the time of Jesus’ birth, a new bright star appeared in the sky. There were three wise men in a distant country who knew that Jesus’ appearance was a sign of the arrival of a great king and they rushed to find him. King Herod heard that the wise men were looking for the great new king, whom he knew would replace him. King Herod planned to kill the baby, but no one knew about it yet. The three sages follow the shining star until they reach the barn, where the family is happy. They bathed Him with gifts and worshiped the Son of God. They also knew that the king was wicked and therefore did not inform him of the location where the child Jesus was located. Joseph was warned by an angel in his dream that Herod would seek Jesus to kill him, so they’d better go to Egypt. This is where they lived until the demon king’s death. Because Jesus cannot be found, Herod has ordered the killing of all the children in Bethlehem.

A storm starts kicking in. Everything is blurry. 

Cold wind seeps into his frail cookie body, it felt painful. 

He called for help….no response. 

Only a ferocious howling answered.

Well, it all started with a young gingerbread named Ginger Bob, who lived in a village around the north pole. He’s quite an adventurer, you see. He dreamed of seeing the whole wide world, discovering new things, and making memorable memories along the way. He planned to celebrate Christmas by going to an attraction called “Mr. Geyser”, a giant geyser that has never melted for the past 100 years. Pretty cool, isn’t it? He hurriedly packed all the things he needed for the trip and set off. 

How unfortunate! The bus hasn’t arrived yet. If he waits for too long, the attraction will be too crowded. So, Ginger Bob walked on foot. After an hour, he was feeling odd. Something felt amiss. He checked the map multiple times but nothing seems wrong. Suddenly, a wind burst out of nowhere and pushed Bob till he fell meters away. Panicked Ginger Bob tried to run back but his movements were no match for the wind. Unable to fight the storm, he can only scream for help. Even more unfortunate! A stone hit his head, knocking him unconscious. I guess it wasn't his day.

A few hours have passed and the sky is turning dark. The wind has long gone, leaving the poor gingerbread lying desperately on the snow. He wakes up only to realize that he has lost his map during the storm. Not knowing where to go, Ginger Bob walks around and tries to find resources to survive. He is surrounded by pine trees, which is not natural, considering he’s still on the north pole. Suddenly, he sees a shining light. Curious, he tries to investigate and follow the light source. After a few minutes of walking, he then finds a giant frozen lake that reflects beautiful lights. Forget about the geyser! This lake is a huge discovery! 

According to the legend, there’s an ever-frozen lake in the middle of a pine forest. The lake reflections tell stories. It was said that whoever finds it will receive good luck. Legends also said that the forest was surrounded by a heavy storm, guarding the place tight. For the past years, neither a single adventurer nor scientist has ever discovered one. So, many believed the lake was a just myth. Ginger Bob is so shocked. He may not be that unlucky after all.
