Description
Clip-clop, clip-clop. In the farmhouses of old, wooden clogs were set beside the fire on Christmas Eve, polished and waiting for the generous visitor who came down the chimney. Little Margaux always scrubbed hers until they shone, set them side by side on the stones, and then lay awake as long as she could, listening for the faintest sound. By morning, there was always something inside: an orange, a wooden toy, a ribbon for her hair, and a note written in a hand she never quite recognized.
Shaped as a Christmas shoe clog, the box comes with a gift, a sweet extra that completes the scene. It is a charming present for anyone with Dutch or French heritage, a collector of holiday shoe pieces, or a child learning the many ways Christmas is celebrated. Place it by the fireplace, on a kitchen shelf among baskets, or beside a pair of real boots by the door.
