You and Tinselberry hurry back toward the North Pole Village, leaning into the rising wind. The sky darkens, and snowflakes sting your cheeks, but you keep moving until the warm golden lights of the village appear ahead. At last, you stumble into the workshop doorway, covered in snow. Santa rushes over. "Oh, thank goodness!" he says. "I was worried you wouldn't make it back before the blizzard hit!" He brushes snow off your shoulders. "And don't worry about the list," he adds with a kind smile. "A bunny family found it stuck to an icicle on the Icicle Path. They hopped right over to deliver it." You sigh with relief, even if you didn't find it yourself. Santa hands you and Tinselberry each a steamy mug of hot cocoa, topped with marshmallows. "Warm up, my brave little explorers. You did your best, and that matters." You sip the cocoa as the blizzard roars outside, glad that the Nice List was found, and glad to be sitting by a nice warm fireplace instead of in the blizzard. The End.
