Description
Paris at two in the morning on Christmas Eve is quiet in a way few people ever see. The Seine slides past silver and black, the bridges glitter, and the Eiffel Tower stands lit against the sky. That, so the story goes, is where Santa pauses each year, perched high on the iron lattice to catch his breath and let the reindeer rest. He waves his hat to the sleeping city before heading south toward Lyon and the snowy Alps beyond.
This tall, impressive box shows Santa atop the Eiffel Tower, the perfect marriage of French romance and Christmas wonder. At about four and a half inches high, it has real presence on a mantel, a bookcase or a holiday table, and it is a showpiece for anyone who has fallen in love with Paris. Lift the lid to stash a Métro ticket or a postcard stub from a treasured trip to the City of Light. Lit by the glow of a string of fairy lights, its silhouette seems to shimmer just like the real tower on a winter night above the river.
