In the town of Haddelmore, the sun shone with its thousand colors providing brightness and splendor to the small village, which was preparing to immerse itself in the magical atmosphere of Christmas, which like every year, brought with it a world of surprises for all the inhabitants. The town enjoyed a unique position in the world. In fact, on one side it was surrounded by a variegated mountain complex, and on the other it could overlook the crystalline horizon of the sea.

The surrounding mountains were filled with snow, and everywhere there was an uncommon warmth, which made the wait even more joyful. It was nice to wake up in the morning and be able to admire such an extraordinary view! In particular, it was possible to appreciate from the first light of dawn how much beauty could be seen shortly thereafter. Everyone was getting ready in thehouses, but also in the streets, in schools and shops, at the most anticipated event of the year. The climate and relationships between people were based on maximum collaboration, and each tried to provide their own contribution to make it even more enjoyable the atmosphere that one breathed during those days.

In fact, it seemed as if there was a desire among people to share the expectation that we lived in those days, increasing the desire to be together, to meet, to hug. And this concerned both adults and children.

North of the city lived Anchor with his family, which consisted of parents, mom Lory and dad Mankeem and younger brother Julis. Their house had a large garden in the front, where Anchor and his little brother used to go during the sunny days to play and create small snowmen.

The parents both had a joyful character, and were always affectionate with their children, trying to fully satisfy their desires.

Mamma Lory was a beautiful lady with light hair in her forties with a passion for cooking, while Papa Mankeem, who was more or less the same age, loved to play sports and play with his children every time he came home from the office.

Julis, the younger of the two, had sei years and he was often watching from the window of his bedroom what was happening outside. He seemed attracted to spending time looking out of that window, as if there was something special waiting for him every day. Well yes, there was really something special, and Julis tried to understand it by letting herself be carried away by her own curiosity some children. The two brothers often played together, but Julis always managed to carve out a few minutes of the day in which he could be alone, even if for a few minutes, to see what happened outside the bedroom window,as if it were a ritual that you cannot renounce.

You know, the dreams and expectations of a child can be many, but also very rich in fantasy and imagination. For Julis it seemed that the window of her bedroom hid something more, something that gave off such an energy as to make even a moment lived looking through the window, so full of magic.

Meanwhile in the town, preparations for Christmas continued at great speed! The streets lit up thanks to the lights that every single inhabitant had placed both inside and outside their homes, to decorate and embellish their home in every way. It was as if in their own mind, everyone wanted to make their own contribution to make Christmas even more special.

Oh yes, in the previous months there had been unpleasant news in the rest of the world, but it was as if Haddelmore had never stopped and had an extraordinary energy and strength to maintain her identity. The people among them were very helpful to each other, the kids went to school, but everything tasted different during this time.

Even Anchor and Julis in the morning when they woke up seemed to have a greater charge to face the days, and their desire to see their friends and talk about Christmas seemed to win all kinds of efforts.

Despite this, Julis every night before falling asleep, never stopped taking refuge in her "secret place" - that is, the window of her bedroom. It seemed as if he could see what was happening not only in his small town, but also discover aspects and situations from other countries far away from the other side of the world. Everything appeared as in a world of dreams, from the Alps to the Andes, from Australia to Canada, a perfect harmony between the environment and people. Julis tried to describe to her family and friends what she saw, and especially the little ones always stopped to listen to her stories with great curiosity, attracted by the news that were being told.

Julis's parents often took pleasure in listening to her descriptions, believing them to be the fruit of pure and genuine imagination. What they didn't know, or rather, they couldn't know, was that everything Julis saw was real !!!

Meanwhile, in Haddelmore, the market was held on Sunday where everyone brought their creations, especially children. Who brought food, who to drink, who showed theirscrafts made with cardboard. It was pleasant to meet along the streets of the small village, walking through the streets covered with snow that came down from the mountains, and which rested pleasantly on the roofs of the houses, on the cars, on the gardens.

Julis and Anchor always had a backpack full of delicacies prepared by their mother and grandmother. Together they enjoyed showing their snacks to their friends during recess at school.

There was a single school complex called Rockerdale, which included both nursery schools and elementary and middle schools, all made up of small classes of children. Although the Institute was of small in size, it was nevertheless very well structured for the various age groups. In fact, some didactic laboratories had been built over the years, as well as a small multipurpose gym that allowed children to carry out recreational activities of various kinds. In the afternoon at the end of the lessons, the boys spent time at the skating rink with some classmates, and every time it ended with a snowball competition among everyone!

They were so happy that they always asked their mom to go home using the skates all the way. There was so much snow on all the sidewalks that they looked like long skating rinks filled with festive children.

The awakenings in Haddelmore were always full of surprises. And it was even more so at this time of year as we approach Christmas.

Papa Mankeem seemed to be even more in a good mood too, and for some time he had begun to conclude some of his projects directly entity at home in the company of children. He had been working as an architect at a construction company for several years and was passionate about his profession. He had always had a strong creative spirit that he was able to apply daily in his work. And when he came home from the office, he often found inspiration at home, in his study located on the upper floor, which he had perfectly equipped with all the work tools. He liked to show his children what he was doing, and often both Anchor and Julis enjoyed providing their input, helping him with the designs he needed to complete. He lent himself to having them finish a few small jobs, of a small entity, and he himself often stated that the finalization of some drawings was better at home than when he was working in the office. It was enough for him to see and hear his children, who used to approach him to look around, that this gave him greater impetus and new ideas for the realization of his projects.
