A Christmas story for Ariana

Here is how a story called "Ariana and the Golden Buoy" might begin:

The houseboat gently bobbed on the winter river, a tranquil haven for Ariana on Christmas Eve. Outside, the world was hushed, the river a dark, swirling ribbon between snowy banks. Ariana, curled up with a book, heard a strange, rhythmic *thump-thump-splash* coming from the back of the boat. It sounded too heavy for a stray branch, too consistent for a ripple. Cautiously, she peered out the back window. There, bobbing stubbornly in the icy current, was a large, brightly painted wooden buoy, glowing with an internal, soft golden light, and it seemed to be pulling an impossibly long, silken red ribbon behind it.

What happens next? Ariana investigates the glowing buoy in the river, realizing it's an extraordinary signal leading her to a Christmas Eve mystery.
