In the heart of the small town of Vila Doce, the magic of Christmas was in the air. The children gathered at Grandma Ana's house, famous for her delicious Christmas cookies. With the table full of flour, sugar and spices, they had fun molding stars, trees and gingerbread men. As the sweet aroma invaded the house, Ana told stories about the true Christmas spirit. “The secret is in sharing and loving,” she said, as the children decorated the cookies with colorful icing and sparkly sprinkles. At the end of the afternoon, the entire city gathered to taste the delicacies and celebrate the friendship and unity that Christmas brings.
