Christmas Eve

December 24th, year 881 in the continental calendar. 

It was a chilly December evening in the small town of Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company, and the citizens were bustling with excitement as they prepared for the most wonderful time of the year - Christmas. The company town square was aglow with vibrant lights and festive decorations, and the sweet scent of gingerbread cookies wafted through the air.

As the townspeople bustled about, finalizing their preparations, children giggled and played in the snow, building snowmen and tossing snowballs at each other. Meanwhile, the town merchants were busy stocking their shelves with holiday treats, and the sound of cheerful carols filled the air.
