He is awoken early in the morning by the sound of yodelling and the jingle-jangle of bells. This is an age-old custom in the hinterland of Appenzell, where the New Year`s Eve mummers go round from house to house making lots of noise and wishing people a Happy New Year. In the afternoon, Ulli goes to visit his freind and of course Blaze goes too. The boys build an igloo aut of snow. Ulli`s older brother, Thomas, is coming home today. It isn`t far to the station, so in the evening Ulli and Blaze make their way there to meet Thomas. Ulli has been looking forward to seeing him again all week long.
