breaks through the snow cheerfully.
By its fine chimes,
became the first spring.
Kind regards

Gæk gæk gæk, my name it says...

With the "gækkebrev" in the house, you have to decide who you want to make gæk with. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to get an Easter egg back :-)

Pick a snowdrop. Write a crazy verse and leave your name with dots.

According to tradition, the person you are sending the letter to has 3 guesses to figure out who you are. Failing that, you must have an Easter egg.

Have fun!
