Times pass
times shall come
time that was, is time that is passed
even tomorrow, time will be over
it's going to be Christmas
christmas is over
the one this year will probably be more fun, than the many we've had
and that's because Christmas is old and christmas is new
christmas is never the same
christmas is like a morning dawn
a new painting in an ancient frame
Christmas remains even as the years pass
therefore, we know we will have an all-time Christmas this year.
In the middle of the queen's Copenhagen lies Denmark's Reich Archive.
The place where all papers about the history of Denmark are stored.
About all of Denmark's wars for example.
The 30-year War, the Seen-Year War and the One-Year War.
About all our Kingss and Queens
About our laws and traditions. And about Christmas of course.
All of these valuable documents are looked after and cared for by Denmark's National Archivist.
His name is Bertramsen and is a very smart and read man.
Well, maybe a little clumsy.
And one thing he doesn't know.
There is also another one that watches out for the books. That is Gutenborg.
He is a pixie and therefore especially keeps an eye on the pixies place in history.
However, Bertramsen and Guttenborg are no longer alone about the work of the National Archives.
This December they got a helper each.
It is ms. Brahe, the ministry has employed a lot against Bertramsen's wish.
And Pyrus, a young pixie, who thought the Reich Archive was a place to store rice.
Already from the morning, things were not quite as they used to.
Christmas remains even as the years pass
therefore, we know we will have an all-time Christmas this year.
December 2nd "Cool Christmas"
What? Whom? Where?
Hello, Bertramsen? Bertramsen, are they there?
- Is it you, Ms. Brahre? - Yes.
- Hello, Bertramsen, may I come in? - A moment!
There is just something I must fix.
Yohoo! Yohoo! Is there anyone?
Now I have to be there!
- Yes, sorry. Ms. Brahe, I was a tiny bit occupied. - Well, all forgiven.
But perhaps, I should get my own key. Good morning, Bertramsen.
Yes, you must surely say that.
- It is a quarter in six. - Yes, I know.
But I'm so excited to get started.
It's not a problem, is it?
- I thought they were probably here early, too. - Ya, ya, ya.
And then I thought I would meet a little earlier so I could decorate a little.
- Decorate? - Yes, after all, it's December.
- And Christmas decorations are so festive, no? - Christmas decorations in the National Archives?
Yes, Christmas is something that affect the entire kingdom.
- Stop! Not there! - But Gosh, it's just a crawling pixie.
Well, this is the cabinet with my private... With my very important stuff!
- And I prefer it to remain undecorated. - Pardon. No decorations there.
Not there either!
Do you know what, Mr. Bertramsen?
I think, then, I'll start inside with my spot.
But I save a little to them.
Because when you first see how cozy it'll be, I know you'll be envious.
Without doubt, Ms. Brahre. Without doubt.
- Help! What's going on? Who turned off the light? - Calm, you old. It's just me.
- Who me? - Me Pyrus, of course.
- I have a surprise to you. - Another one...
- Yep, just come. - Careful, careful.
- Let me see... - Don't cheat, don't cheat.
There, there. Out on the floor. Yeah, that's good. There.
Ta-da!
- What do you say, then? - Stamp and ink spot.
- Yes, I must say that. - That you must.
Now you can see it soon is Christmas.
Isn't that just delicious?
Yes, that it is, I suppose.
But Christmas decorations, isn't that more for humans?
Us pixies don't usually...
Used to, used to, used to is dead.
Why are we pixies always so scared to try something new?
That's why Christmas always turns out so boring.
in the attic sits the pixie, why is he sitting there?
when it's down in the living room the real fun happens
a pixie life is too predictable and sad
even Santa looks like a tourist, nowadays
the white Christmas wives, cake men and wives are old traditions
but why should Christmas always look like the one we had last?
I want to have some movement in it, song in it, more swing and bang in it
out with pixie beer
out with pixie beard, it's filled with moth anyway
I want to get bang in it, a beat in it, and party all day long in it
why should one get bored because it's Christmas? Do like me. Make Christmas more cool
small pixie I journeyed, but where did the voyage go?
us pixies always go for a travel, but return home again
why is the hat red, when it could be violet?
why is it pointy, when it could be a cap?
for my sake, you can remove both Christmas tree and star
it is hopelessly outdated, but I would much rather hear cool music and dance closely
I want to have some movement in it, song in it, more swing and bang in it
out with pixie beer
out with pixie beard, it's filled with moth anyway
I want to get bang in it, a beat in it, and party all day long in it
why should one get bored because it's Christmas? Do like me. Make Christmas more cool
the Christmas we have today is pacing out there all in too low in gear
I step the nail all the way down while I say
I want to have some movement in it, song in it, more swing and bang in it
out with pixie beer
out with pixie beard, it's filled with moth anyway
I want to get bang in it, a beat in it, and party all day long in it
why should one get bored because it's Christmas? Do like me. Make Christmas more cool
Cool Christmas? I think I'm getting old, I'll gladly admit that.
The Christmas decoration... I can agree with that, but everything else.
Where did you get all the paper from, by the way?
Do you walk around with the hat down over the eyes, or what?
There's tons of paper on all the shelves.
Right to cut into.
That there does. What do you say?
- You haven't? My old papers and parchments! - Are they all yours?
Don't you get what you did? They are irreplaceable, they're priceless!
Calm down.
I only used those, which was already written on.
However, what did I do, since I have to be punished so hard?
"Everything, as the Danes were almost beaten, then the sky opened..." No, not that.
- Why are you taking down the Christmas decorations, Goffenberry? - Gutenborg, do you hear? Gutenborg!
And it isn't decoration.
It is an irreplaceable original manuscript that describes how Dannebrog fell from the sky.
- Do you get that? - Of course. Clearly. Are there any pictures?
It's about time
I explain a little about what this place is.
Yes, that's the most sacred.
- But remember, well seen, but no touch. - No, no. Of course.
- Yes, although at some point I will probably have to touch some of it. - Why?
Well, I just thought since I have to work here.
- You're not working here. They have to work out there. - Aha!
So what's that way out?
I'll show you.
Yes, impressive it looks.
And then it's only a tiny part of... ahem.
I just had to see them closer up.
Yes, rather be careful they don't see you.
- Tell me, have you even heard a word of what I've said? - Oh, yes. The whole shebang.
This means there's not a single rice grain here.
As I said, it is not a rice storage, but a Reich archive.
Reichs with CH like Reich.
- You could also have called it a country archive. - Yes, if only they did.
- It could have saved me some trouble. - Me too, my friend. Me too.
I'm speechless. It is simply so overwhelming.
Yeah... a county's history fills a deal.
But that's not just what I mean. It's the entire atmosphere.
The idea of ??what all these books and documents contain.
All these lives and events, that made us all into who we are today.
- I almost think it's beautiful. - You really think so?
- Yes, both scary and overwhelming at once. - Scary?
- Now they hopefully don't believe in ghosts. - No, of course not. Only in pixies.
Yes. Pixies?
- Good day. - Howdy.
I think I'll be sick.
Awful.
- Terribly. For, for, for... - Too much, Gutenborg.
- Okay, he got a single glimpse of me. So what? - Oh, what then?
Any pixie child knows that we, Pixies shouldn't be seen.
Now I worked under five Reich Archivarians
and it has never happened before. Never.
Once has to be the first one.
At home at the printing press, it has happened plenty of times. What's the problem?
The problem is that people are curious.
They start snooping around.
- Maybe we will be forced to move. - Nix-bix. After all, he's an adult.
- So much, the worse. - On the contrary. Grown people has no imagination, Gutenborg.
- I think he guarantees he saw visions. - Hopefully.
What if he tells anyone about it?
Then they don't believe him.
But I assure you Ms. Brahe. I saw someone. Or something.
