If you have rented a house on a small island in the Swedish archipelago for a whole year, then you have to celebrate Christmas there too, Melcher believes. Even if you might freeze your ears off. Shortly before Christmas Eve, the steamer comes chugging through the ice channel to Saltkrokan, with the Melchersson family on board. Pelle's joy is huge when he not only sees Bootsman and Tjorven again at last, but also his rabbit, Jockel. But receiving Christmas presents, skiing, sledding on the ice, and eating cinnamon buns in the warm kitchen of the carpenter's cottage – on Saltkrokan, everything is simply wonderful, even in the depths of winter.
Holidays on Saltkrokan are still real fun even in the heaviest snowstorm.
