The Locked Cabin

Snow falls quietly outside an old cabin.

Inside, the fire burns… but the gifts are locked away.
Four locks remain.
Solve them — or Christmas stays sealed forever.

Lock I — The Fireplace

On the mantle you see:
• 4 stockings
• 3 candles (2 lit)
• A clock stuck at 6:00pm
• A note: "Count only objects on the mantle and the hour that gives warmth, dark and light."
