Christmas is something that comes in the winter, and everyone gets very busy running around and making lists. They have to buy fir trees and make them beautiful, and then they make dinner and wrap up presents, all before night falls! In winter, the nights are very long and the days are very short, so it's very difficult and makes everyone very stressed out and scared, but I think it is a very big misunderstanding, you see. Usually I hibernate until spring with my family so I don't have to deal with Christmas often. How about your Christmas? Don't you have to get everything ready before he comes?

My friend Snufkin has a round face and brown hair and maybe looks a bit like you. He wears a big green hat with an orange feather, a yellow scarf, a green tunic and brown boots. He has a tent and carries a harmonica, and likes to travel by himself during the winter. Lots of little creatures like him and he is my very, very best friend. It is a pity no other moomintrolls have been here, but it is rather thrilling to be the first! If I see him again, I will have to tell him how wonderfully I managed all by myself!

It is nice to meet you too, Charles Xavier. I like my name as it is, but often people call me Moomin for short. You may do that too, if you like. Should I be calling you something else as well?
