"Pippi Saves Christmas" by Astrid Lindgren
Note: The Book is written in Swedish
Have you heard of Pippi Longstocking, the strongest girl in the world? She, who lives all alone in Villa Villekulla with only a horse and a monkey? She, who has a whole duffel bag full of money? Now you will hear what Pippi did once.
It was Christmas Eve night. Christmas lights were shining in all the windows in the little town. The Christmas trees were lit. All the children were so happy. No, not really all the children were happy. Three little sad poor people were crying in a kitchen on the second floor of a house on Vinkelgatan."
How lucky that Pippi came by with a Christmas tree on her head and a sack of Christmas presents. For the sad little children whose mother was in the hospital, it was - despite everything - a fun and completely unforgettable Christmas Eve. Thanks to Pippi.

Hast du von Pippi Langstrumpf gehört, dem stärksten Mädchen der Welt? Sie, die ganz allein in der Villa Kunterbunt lebt, nur mit einem Pferd und einem Affen? Sie, die eine ganze Tasche voller Geld hat? Jetzt wirst du hören, was Pippi einmal getan hat.
Es war Heiligabend. Weihnachtslichter leuchteten in allen Fenstern der kleinen Stadt. Die Weihnachtsbäume waren erleuchtet. Alle Kinder waren so glücklich. Nein, eigentlich waren nicht alle Kinder glücklich. Drei kleine traurige arme Kinder weinten in einer Küche im zweiten Stock eines Hauses in der Vinkelgatan."
Wie glücklich, dass Pippi mit einem Weihnachtsbaum auf dem Kopf und einem Sack voller Weihnachtsgeschenke vorbeikam. Für die traurigen kleinen Kinder, deren Mutter im Krankenhaus war, wurde es - trotz allem - ein fröhlicher und völlig unvergesslicher Heiligabend. Dank Pippi.
