have."En: "It's definitely something no one else will have."Da: De gik videre, hånd i hånd, i aftenluften, varme af smilets glæde og latter.En: They continued on, hand in hand, in the evening air, warmed by the joy of smiles and laughter.Da: Mime vinkede farvel, med sin hat i den ene hånd og et stort smil på ansigtet.En: The mime waved goodbye, with his hat in one hand and a big smile on his face.Da: Nyhavn, med sine blinkende lys og farverige huse, havde givet dem et minde, de aldrig ville glemme.En: Nyhavn, with its twinkling lights and colorful houses, had given them a memory they would never forget.Da: Denne jul ville Mikkels kort skille sig ud, ikke for det perfekte billede, men for livets uventede glæde fanget i en enkelt ramme.En: This Christmas, Mikkel's card would stand out, not for the perfect picture, but for the unexpected joy of life captured in a single frame.
