🥶 On a cold winter’s night 🥶
🔥 Every house was warm and bright 🔥
😔 Not a single soul could be sad 😔
😇 Because all felt gratitude for the year they’d had 😇
This year has truly been one to remember for us in the team. We’ve been challenged in so many ways, and although it’s been tough, we are incredibly grateful for every single person who has supported us along the way. To celebrate the end of this amazing year, we wanted to give you guys a special moment with Bennie. Here’s a small Christmas story we call “The last Advent Sunday in Larcenest Gap”.
Bennie, who was sound asleep, woke abruptly to the sound of jingle bells outside of his window. He flew out of his bed, opening his curtains to see what was going on. The darkness was still covering the city, but something in town made it shine as if it was a bright sunny day. A group of people had gathered in the city and were in full swing decorating lampposts, facades, and benches with lights, glitter and giant bells. Someone was hosing down the city square with water, creating a mirror-like surface around the statue of the Mayor. An ice-skating rink was taking shape, and while the others finished up the last decorations, the town started to wake up. People gathered around, ice skating and singing carols together.
Bennie, whose nose had been glued to the frosty window for far too long now, finally broke loose from his trance, quickly getting dressed and joining the others outside. Sir Sugarbeard had brought everyone hot chocolate and candy canes, and people were making garlands out of the small, fluffy white clouds the popcorn machine was joyfully spitting out. As Bennie held a warming cup of chocolate, he gazed above the Christmas lights, into the starry sky. For a moment, he thought he saw a shooting star. But it got bigger… and bigger… Until he saw it falling straight towards the North Woods!
Bennie set off towards the wooded area with his camera in a tight grip. This mysterious crash could be the story of the year, he thought, while hastily zigzagging between the trees, scanning for signs of this mystery.
He suddenly spotted a bright shimmer, coming off of one of the trails. He slowly approached the light, readying his camera. What he caught on camera must have been the truest Christmas miracle Bennie had ever seen…

From the team of Nothing Strange Here, we wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year! 🎄💝🥂🎉
