Jingle had flown for what
seemed to be only twenty minutes, when we entered an area that was
covered in deep snow everywhere. "Jingle, do you think
we've reached the North Pole yet?"
Jingle started heading
towards the ground, and lightly set her hooves in the deep snow.
She plowed through the snow a few more feet. I could see
nothing to indicate we were at the North Pole, when a light caught
my eyes. It was a red light, it seemed to be coming out of
the ground. Then I saw a large red ball glowing with light,
coming out of the ground. It was attached to a red and white
striped pole, that was decorated with a large red bow. An
elf came and pulled on the pole, and a door opened into what had
appeared to be a gigantic boulder covered in snow.
"It's the North
Pole!" I exclaimed to Jingle.
The elf motioned for us to
enter the doorway, and Jingle did not hesitate. Once
we were inside, two elves helped me dismount Jingle.
"We're the reindeer
keepers. We'll be happy to feed and bed your horse, while
you visit," one of the two spoke to me.
"Okay, thanks. See
you later, Jingle!" I patted her, just before they led
her to the stalls. Another elf then approached me.
"Hello, my name is Geva.
I will be your guide. Now, you have come to choose a gift
for the Christ Child. Do you have something in mind, or
would you like to just look around and get some ideas?"
While she was talking, I was
looking around at my surroundings. I was in a room that led
to many rooms with elves coming in and out of it. The walls
were white, but they glistened with sparkles, just like snow.
Huge candy canes were the poles used as beams to support the
walls, and holly leaves and berries were painted on the walls as
trim around the doorways, that had no doors. It was
beautiful. All the elves were dressed up in red and green,
pink and blue, and purple too. They also wore jingle bells on their caps and shoes.
