Christmas Among the Hidden Folk of Dalberg

While the village sleeps, the forest celebrates.

A hidden Christmas.
A quiet magic.
A gift meant to be felt — not seen.

Christmas Among the Hidden Folk of Dalberg is a cozy Scandinavian folklore novella about winter, memory, and the unseen kindness that lingers at the edge of the world.

Every year, while the villagers light candles, bake bread, and prepare for Christmas Eve, the forest beside them gathers for a celebration of its own.

Hidden among snow-heavy spruces, the old folk awaken — the tomtar, the small hidden ones, the forest guardians, and the ancient beings who remember winters long before the village existed. By lantern-light and song, they come together to honor midwinter, to keep the balance, and to choose a single gift for the human world.

This year, the veil between worlds is thinner than it has been in generations.

A boy follows a light he cannot explain.
An old woman greets the forest as an old friend.
And the hidden folk must decide what the humans of Dalberg need most — not as a miracle, but as a quiet grace.

Christmas Among the Hidden Folk of Dalberg is a cozy, atmospheric Christmas novella rooted in Scandinavian folklore and winter tradition. It is a story about stillness, memory, and the unseen kindness that moves through the darkest season.

This is not a story about grand spells or battles —
it is a story about what remains when the world grows quiet.

Curl up, slow down, and step into a Christmas you were never meant to see —
but might still feel.
