Description
Rabbits, the old gardener used to say, are terrible at keeping secrets but wonderful at parties. So when the first snow came to the walled garden behind the château, it was no surprise that one rabbit decided to celebrate. He brushed the frost from his whiskers, sat up very straight beside the bare rosebushes and waited for someone to notice how festive he looked. The children did notice. They brought him a carrot tied with red string, and he accepted it as though it were a medal.
This holiday rabbit brings that bright-eyed charm to the season. Rabbits are usually saved for spring, which makes this Christmas version a delightful surprise for anyone who collects bunnies, loves gardens or keeps a house rabbit of their own. Give it to a friend who decorates with woodland themes, or place it on a breakfast table among pinecones and clementines, where it looks as though it has come in from the snow for a visit. House-rabbit owners in particular will recognize that look of polite expectation.
