Sneen dalede blidt over København, og Tivoli Gardens lyste op som et magisk landskab med tusindvis af funklende lys.

The snow fell gently over København, and Tivoli Gardens lit up like a magical landscape with thousands of sparkling lights.

Luften var fyldt med duften af ristede mandler og krydrede gløgg.

The air was filled with the scent of roasted almonds and spiced gløgg.

Mikkel gik gennem de travle gader i Tivoli sammen med sin ven Jonas.

Mikkel walked through the busy streets of Tivoli with his friend Jonas.

"Vi skal finde den perfekte gave til Emma," sagde Mikkel bestemt.

"We need to find the perfect gift for Emma," said Mikkel determinedly.

Jonas nikkede.

Jonas nodded.

"Det er tæt på jul nu, og butikkerne bliver hurtigt tømt."

"It's close to Christmas now, and the shops will soon be emptied."

Mikkel tænkte på, hvor meget Emma betød for ham.

Mikkel thought about how much Emma meant to him.

Hun var hans klippe, og han ønskede at vise hende, hvor meget han satte pris på hende.

She was his rock, and he wanted to show her how much he appreciated her.

Men hver butik de besøgte havde enten for dyre eller ikke-personlige gaver.

But every store they visited had either too expensive or impersonal gifts.

Mikkel følte sig presset, da han så de lange køer og de mange mennesker, der også jagtede efter de perfekte julegaver.

Mikkel felt pressured as he saw the long lines and the many people also hunting for the perfect Christmas gifts.

De nærmede sig julemarkedet, hvor små boder bød på alverdens håndværk.

They approached the Christmas market, where small stalls offered all kinds of crafts.

Der var pyntegenstande, tøj og smykker.

There were ornaments, clothing, and jewelry.

"Måske skal jeg købe noget dyrt," tænkte Mikkel højt.

"Maybe I should buy something expensive," Mikkel thought out loud.

Men Jonas rystede på hovedet.

But Jonas shook his head.

"Noget, der kommer fra hjertet, vil nok betyde mere."

"Something that comes from the heart will probably mean more."

Pludselig fik en stand Mikkels øje.

Suddenly a stand caught Mikkel's eye.

Den solgte håndlavede juleornamenter.

It sold handmade Christmas ornaments.

Et af ornamenterne mindede ham om deres første date i Tivoli, hvor de havde spist candyfloss og set fyrværkeri.

One of the ornaments reminded him of their first date in Tivoli, where they had eaten cotton candy and watched fireworks.

Den lille engel lignede en, de havde set sammen den aften.

The little angel looked like one they had seen together that night.

Mikkel blev fyldt med glæde ved tanken om den aften.

Mikkel was filled with joy at the thought of that evening.

Han besluttede sig.

He decided.

Det skulle være denne lille engel, som symboliserede starten på deres kærlighed.

It would be this little angel, which symbolized the start of their love.

Han kunne mærke, at det var det helt rigtige.

He could feel that it was exactly the right choice.

Senere, da han gav Emma gaven, lyste hendes ansigt op.

Later, when he gave Emma the gift, her face lit up.

"Jeg husker den aften," smilede hun.

"I remember that evening," she smiled.

Mikkel følte lettelse og varme i hjertet.

Mikkel felt relief and warmth in his heart.

Han forstod nu, at betydningen bag gaven var vigtigere end prisen.

He understood now that the meaning behind the gift was more important than its price.

Tivolis magiske lys blinkede i baggrunden, og sneen fortsatte med at falde lige så fint som deres uforglemmelige minder sammen.

Tivoli's magical lights twinkled in the background, and the snow continued to fall just as finely as their unforgettable memories together.

Mikkel vidste, at kærligheden ikke kunne måles i penge, men i de øjeblikke, man delte.

Mikkel knew that love couldn't be measured in money, but in the moments shared.
