Jólasveinar hunt

[father_chris]

So someone appears to be stealing Christmas around here. And knowing his legends, Father Christmas has a pretty good idea who.

Before anyone sets off to retrieve their lost things, he hands out pairs of new socks.

"That'll protect you." he says. "The Jólasveinar won't hurt anyone wearing new clothes, for some reason."

He puts on his red and white fluffy hat, and leads the way with a lantern.

We're on a Jólasveinar hunt
Gotta get our stuff back
What a beautiful day!
We're not scared!

"Goth'cha," Cat says and tries to be careful where she steps, but gardens are not a thing she knows. She'll just step where Guppy and Rae do for now.

"We should," Rae says, nodding, then grins over her shoulder at Guppy. "Though we might have to wait until we can find them for sure to do that."

Which defeats the purpose!

Oh well. The asparagus is safe underground, but there are strawberry plants piled with mulch that could be smushed.

"We should be okay if we stay in between the rows," she says, and forges ahead.

"I'm sure the plants are strong underneath." Guppy says. "Stronger than we would be. Have you both got your protective socks on?"

Cat nods Guppy and is careful to walk between the rows.

"I'm good. Do you think we'll be able to keep them?" Cold feet are a serious danger on the streets and these socks are warm.

"I've got mine, too," Rae nods, as they make their way through the garden. "They're really nice."

She feels her foot come down on a hidden plant, and tries mid-step to avoid it, stumbling clumsily. Rae doesn't fall, but it's a near thing.

"Augh," she says, making a face. "Got snow down down the tops of my boots." She doesn't like the sudden cold against her ankles as the snow melts, and tries to shake out the excess snow.

"I don't think he'll want second hand socks in your size back." Guppy smiles.

"You want a tissue Rae?"
