Tivoli Gardens skinnede som et julediamant.

Tivoli Gardens shone like a Christmas diamond.

Tusindvis af lys glitrede i den kølige aftensluft.

Thousands of lights glimmered in the cool evening air.

Musik og latter skabte en glad symfoni mellem de gamle forlystelser.

Music and laughter created a happy symphony among the old rides.

Signe stod foran indgangen, hendes øjne fyldte med forventning.

Signe stood in front of the entrance, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Ved hendes side var Lars, altid med et smil og et uventet eventyr i ærmet.

By her side was Lars, always with a smile and an unexpected adventure up his sleeve.

"Kasper, kom nu," sagde Lars opmuntrende.

"Kasper, come on," said Lars encouragingly.

Signe kiggede på sin lillebror.

Signe looked at her little brother.

Han stirrede ned på sine sko, stadig fanget i tankerne om deres forældre.

He stared down at his shoes, still caught in thoughts about their parents.

Det var deres første jul uden dem.

It was their first Christmas without them.

"Det bliver sjovt," sagde hun og tog blidt hans hånd.

"It will be fun," she said and gently took his hand.

De gik ind gennem de store porte.

They walked through the big gates.

Tivoli var som en magisk verden.

Tivoli was like a magical world.

Små boder solgte gløgg og æbleskiver, og alt duften af gran og krydderier.

Small stalls sold gløgg and æbleskiver, and everything smelled of pine and spices.

"Prøv at se," sagde Signe og pegede på en kæmpe julenisse, der hilste de forbipasserende velkommen.

"Look," said Signe and pointed to a giant Santa Claus, welcoming the passersby.

Kaspers blik begyndte forsigtigt at løfte sig.

Kasper’s gaze began to cautiously lift.

"Vi kan tage på rutsjebanerne!"

"We can ride the roller coasters!"

foreslog Lars energisk.

suggested Lars energetically.

Signe nikkede, håbende at Kaspers humør også ville løfte sig med hver forlystelse.

Signe nodded, hoping that Kasper’s mood would lift with each ride.

De tre satte sig i en af de farverige vogne.

The three of them sat in one of the colorful cars.

Hvin og latter fyldte luften, mens de fløj gennem svingene.

Screams and laughter filled the air as they flew through the turns.

Selv Kasper kunne ikke lade være at smile lidt.

Even Kasper couldn’t help but smile a little.

Efter turen gik de rundt og nød synet af isblå lys, der snoede sig om trækronerne.

After the ride, they walked around and enjoyed the sight of ice-blue lights winding around the tree tops.

Mens de vandrede gennem haven, så de, at folkemængden begyndte at samle sig omkring en stor, åben plads.

As they wandered through the garden, they saw that the crowd was beginning to gather around a large open space.

"Det ser ud, som om det er tid til fyrværkeri," sagde Lars.

"It looks like it's time for fireworks," said Lars.

Lysene i haven dæmpede.

The lights in the garden dimmed.

Så eksploderede himlen i strålende farver, der dansede over dem.

Then the sky exploded in brilliant colors, dancing above them.

Kasper stirrede op, hans øjne store og lysende af forundring.

Kasper stared up, his eyes wide and bright with wonder.

Signe klemte hans hånd og mærkede en varm glød i sit eget hjerte.

Signe squeezed his hand, feeling a warm glow in her own heart.

Da fyrværkeriet sluttede, kiggede Kasper på sin søster.

When the fireworks ended, Kasper looked at his sister.

"Tak, Signe," mumlede han blidt, men med et ægte smil.

"Thank you, Signe," he mumbled softly but with a genuine smile.

Signe kiggede på ham med en blanding af lettelse og glæde.

Signe looked at him with a mix of relief and joy.

De tre venner gik videre gennem haven, latteren fyldte luften.

The three friends continued through the garden, laughter filling the air.

Signe indså nu, at øjeblikke af lykke og tristhed kunne eksistere side om side, og man behøvede ikke at vælge kun én.

Signe realized now that moments of happiness and sadness could exist side by side, and one didn't have to choose just one.

Sammen havde de skabt en ny erindring, som deres forældre også ville have elsket.

Together they had created a new memory that their parents would have loved too.

Aftenen sluttede, mens de gik ud af Tivoli, lysene bag dem stadig blinkende i natten.

The evening ended as they walked out of Tivoli, the lights behind them still twinkling in the night.

Hjertet var lettere, og deres bånd stærkere.

Hearts were lighter, and their bond stronger.

De forstod, at midt i tab kan der stadig findes glæde og varme.

They understood that amid loss, there can still be joy and warmth.

Christmas in Tivoli havde givet dem noget særligt.

Christmas in Tivoli had given them something special.

De ville altid have denne aften som en del af deres historie.

They would always have this evening as part of their story.
