by Freja, age 9 from Billund, Denmark, asks Santa about building sets, the small town of Billund, and its famous toy company.
Dear Santa, my name is Freja, and I am nine years old. I live in Billund, Denmark, where my far says our small town is actually home to a really famous toy company.
Dear Freja, a small town with a toy company that famous deserves a very appreciative flyover, your far picked a truly playful hometown.
Santa, I have three questions.
Is there a Lego Santa set? My bror wants to build one this year instead of just decorating with lights.
There certainly are Christmas themed building sets out there, Freja, including versions of me built entirely from little colorful bricks. Your bror sounds like he has a wonderfully creative way to celebrate the season.
My far says Billund is a really small town, even though it is famous around the world. Is that true?
It is true, Freja, Billund remains a small town despite its worldwide fame, proving that big ideas can come from small places. I always enjoy that cozy, unassuming landscape on my way to your rooftop.
My far says that toy company started right here in Billund and grew into something known all over the world. Is that true?
It is true, Freja, that beloved toy company began in your very own town and grew to bring joy to children everywhere. That kind of small-town creativity reaching the whole world is really something worth celebrating.
Merry Christmas, Santa.
Your friend,
Freja Lund
Billund, Denmark
P.S. Will you help my bror build his Santa set this year?
Happily, Freja, building projects are more fun with company.
