CHAPTER 17: CLUES AND SURPRISES

Adeline and I discussed various Clovelly customs that I was unaware of. There would be a big Christmas celebration in the town square, with lots of food and carolling, and everyone would enjoy themselves. We mostly had a simple Christmas back in Brookeland.

Adeline mentioned that in Clovelly, families would exchange handmade gifts and participate in a community gift exchange. She also explained that the town had a tradition of decorating the streets with colourful lights and festive decorations during the holiday season.

I had a thought as we were conversing: "Hey Adeline, I have an idea; how about we make some Christmas treats just to spread cheer?" I exclaimed.

"Your Highness, that is a good idea, but are you sure it might be a lot of work?" she said.

"It's nothing I cannot manage, besides I want to calm this tense air," I said.

"Sure, Your Highness, shall we go to the kitchen then?" she asked.
