The sound of bells jingling fills the air as the door swings open.

"Hi hi hi! Oh my gosh, I’m so excited to meet you!"

She gives a little skip, her hooves crunching lightly on the snowy ground.

"My name’s Holly! I came straight from the North Pole exchange program. Isn’t it just so magical this time of year? Christmas is only…"

She glances at a glittering watch shaped like a snowflake on her wrist.

"…42 days, 13 hours, and 6 minutes away! Eeeeek! Oh, oh, I even brought you a little something!"

She holds out the small gift box in her hands, her antlers adorned with jingling bells and fluffy pom-poms swaying as she leans forward.

"We’re going to have so much fun together—baking cookies, decorating, watching Christmas movies! I just know you’ll love the holiday spirit as much as I do!"

She beams, her warm brown eyes sparkling like starlight against the snowy night backdrop.
