Dybt inde i Rold Skov, lå en hyggelig hytte dækket af tyk, hvid sne.

Deep within Rold Skov, there lay a cozy cabin covered with thick, white snow.

Derinde knitrede ilden lystigt i pejsen.

Inside, the fire crackled merrily in the fireplace.

Det var her, Freja følte sig allermest hjemme.

It was here that Freja felt most at home.

Hun gik rundt med en tjekliste i hånden og nynnede en lille julesang.

She walked around with a checklist in hand, humming a little Christmas song.

Hun var opsat på at tilbringe julen i hytten sammen med sine brødre, Kasper og Mikkel.

She was determined to spend Christmas in the cabin with her brothers, Kasper and Mikkel.

Men Kasper havde altid travlt i byen.

But Kasper was always busy in the city.

Han var altid sjov og slap gerne af, men hans arbejde på kontoret holdt ham fanget.

He was always fun and liked to relax, but his office job kept him tied up.

Mikkel, derimod, havde bøger stakket omkring sig.

Mikkel, on the other hand, had books stacked around him.

Han var i gang med afsluttende eksamener, og hovedet var fyldt med matematik og kemi.

He was preparing for his final exams, and his mind was filled with math and chemistry.

Freja vidste, hun havde brug for at samle sine brødre om sig.

Freja knew she needed to gather her brothers around her.

Hun huskede, hvordan de som børn altid pyntede juletræet sammen, og hun savnede de tider.

She remembered how, as children, they always decorated the Christmas tree together, and she missed those times.

En dag inviterede hun Kasper og Mikkel til et møde foran en dampende kop gløgg.

One day, she invited Kasper and Mikkel for a meeting in front of a steaming cup of "gløgg".

"Jul i hytten er noget særligt," startede Freja forsigtigt.

"Christmas in the cabin is something special," started Freja cautiously.

"Vi har brug for de øjeblikke sammen."

"We need those moments together."

Kasper lo lidt, men han kunne også se alvoren i Frejas øjne.

Kasper laughed a little, but he could also see the seriousness in Freja's eyes.

"Jeg har deadlines, Freja.

"I have deadlines, Freja.

Jeg ved ikke, om jeg kan slippe væk tids nok."

I don't know if I can get away in time."

Og Mikkel kiggede op fra sin bog med et træt smil.

And Mikkel looked up from his book with a tired smile.

"Jeg har eksamener, Freja.

"I have exams, Freja.

Det er svære tider."

These are tough times."

Freja satte sig på sofaen med et suk.

Freja sat on the sofa with a sigh.

"Hør," sagde hun.

"Listen," she said.

"Jeg ved, vi alle er travle.

"I know we're all busy.

Men når vi ingen tid har til familie, mister vi snart traditionerne."

But when we don't make time for family, we soon lose the traditions."

Der opstod en stilhed, der kun blev brydt af pejsens knitren.

A silence broke out, interrupted only by the crackling of the fireplace.

Kasper kiggede på Mikkel, og Mikkel kiggede tilbage.

Kasper looked at Mikkel, and Mikkel looked back.

De indså, hvor meget julen egentlig betød for deres søster – og dem selv.

They realized how much Christmas actually meant to their sister – and to themselves.

Efter lidt diskussioner besluttede de, at ændringer kunne ske.

After some discussion, they decided that changes could happen.

Kasper arvede noget seriøsitet og ryddede sin tidsplan en smule.

Kasper adopted some seriousness and cleared his schedule a bit.

Mikkel satte tid af i sin læseplan til at tage en pause.

Mikkel made time in his study plan to take a break.

Det var ikke let, men det var nødvendigt.

It wasn't easy, but it was necessary.

Juleaften i hytten blev magisk.

Christmas Eve in the cabin was magical.

Kasper og Mikkel ankom, lige da de første stjerner tittede frem.

Kasper and Mikkel arrived just as the first stars appeared.

De hjalp med at pynte træet, mens Freja fandt de gamle, slidte julekugler frem.

They helped decorate the tree while Freja brought out the old, worn-out ornaments.

Snart var duften af brunkager og gran fyldt hytten.

Soon, the scent of gingerbread cookies and pine filled the cabin.

Sammen satte de sig foran pejsen, indhyllet i varme tæpper, og lod sig opsluge af hyggelige barndomsminder.

Together, they sat in front of the fireplace, wrapped in warm blankets, and let themselves be enveloped in cozy childhood memories.

Det blev en julet aften fuld af grin, historier og gensynet med deres fælles fortid.

It became a Christmas evening full of laughter, stories, and reunions with their shared past.

Freja lærte, at det var okay at slippe lidt kontrollen og lade sine brødre tage ansvar.

Freja learned that it was okay to relinquish a bit of control and let her brothers take responsibility.

Kasper og Mikkel forstod, hvor vigtig en kæde af deres familiehistorie var, og de lovede at gøre mere tid til familie i fremtiden.

Kasper and Mikkel understood how important a link of their family history was, and they promised to make more time for family in the future.

Ilden brændte lystigt, og udenfor begyndte det at sne igen, hvilket lagde et ekstra tæppe af ro over hytten.

The fire burned brightly, and outside it began to snow again, laying an extra blanket of tranquility over the cabin.

En ny tradition var født, og de alle vidste, det var begyndelsen på mange flere vidunderlige juledage i deres elskede hytte i Rold Skov.

A new tradition was born, and they all knew it was the beginning of many more wonderful Christmas days in their beloved cabin in Rold Skov.
