Description
“Did the post come?” asked Grand-mère, as she did every morning in December. Every morning, her granddaughter ran down the snowy path to check, and every morning the cardinals were there first, perched on the mailbox like a pair of red sentries. One day, the girl found a letter inside addressed in a hand she did not recognize. It was from a cousin far away, who had heard that Grand-mère was poorly and wanted to wish her a merry Christmas. The cardinals, the girl decided, had brought it.
This box carries that sweet sense of good news arriving. Cardinals perch on a Merry Christmas mailbox, and it comes with a letter, making it a lovely way to send wishes to someone far away. Birdwatchers will cherish it, as will a friend who loves cardinals, or anyone who believes, as many do, that cardinals are visitors from loved ones. Set it near a window facing a bird feeder, or on a desk where letters are written. Many people keep one on a kitchen shelf in memory of someone dear.
