Snow covered the town in a thick, still blanket as Cal walked toward the town hall for the annual Christmas festival. A warm glow from each window made the streets feel peaceful and full of holiday cheer. Cal stopped to watch a group of kids roll a giant snow ball down the small hill, laughing when it nearly hit a wooden stall.
