Hello super great kids.
Happy December and how are you?
I hope you've had a good week.
I've got three reasons to be cheerful.
First, I've been writing Christmas cards to friends all over the world.
I wonder if you have any friends who come from another country.
And second, this Saturday we have an online show with stories all about midwinter magic.
With guest storyteller The Wonderful Sheila Arnold from the US who told us the very popular story The Weeping Willow.
So I hope to see you this Saturday at six o'clock p.m.
British time, that's Greenwich Mean Time, or if you're busy, you can download it and watch later.
And my third reason to be cheerful is that this week,
Tien and Duyeb, who told us the ghost of the bloody finger,
is back with a beautiful story from snowy Finland, which is a country in northern Europe.
It's so far north that the winters are very long and very dark.
Some days, in winter, it hardly gets light at all.
