This is short, sweet fairytale for all ages.
I wrote this story back in high school and stumbled upon it again 15 yrs later. I thought it was so cute, I gave it a basic edit but published it more or less as-is.

I think it's fun to know that back then I was very much a punk teen and I did not like Christmas (or Jul in danish). I thought it was capitalistic bullshit (still do tbh), and I was furious that my English teacher was forcing us to write a Christmas story as a school assignment. So I thought I'd be all rebellious and add a dragon so I could be all "Hmf! See what I did there? Scr*w you and your Christmas!" and it it somehow ended up being an adorable winter tale about the spirit of Jul.
