The Bear Who Came in from the Cold. Stuffed bear Thomas Müller, the shy hero from Karen Duve's cheeky and charming Christmas story: loved dearly, but forgotten in the cold. And that on Christmas Eve. How will it all end? Thomas Müller, a highly regarded family member of the Wortmanns from Hanstedt, gets left behind somewhere in Karstadt during the family Christmas shopping in Hamburg (this happens when a six-year-old is in charge). His attempt to take a taxi fails due to a lack of cash. So he sits outside by the fountain in front of Burger King, waiting for the Wortmanns to return and pick him up. But it gets dark and late... Then a new acquaintance appears: the wandering cat Sandra Kaiser (or something, Thomas Müller hears a bit poorly), code name Panther, who initially frightens him quite a bit. Especially since he is sitting by the fountain.
