Description
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse, or so the poem goes. But this particular mouse had other plans. While the household slept, he slipped into a tiny red suit he had stitched from a ribbon, climbed onto the kitchen counter, and claimed the biggest wedge of cheese for himself. Sitting atop it like a king on a throne, he surveyed the dark kitchen and decided this was the best Christmas Eve he had ever had. He even left a crumb for the cat, as a goodwill gesture.
This box shows a Santa mouse on a piece of cheese, a playful scene that brings a giggle to the holiday season. Cheese lovers will adore it, and so will a fromagerie regular, a child who adores storybook mice, or anyone with a mischievous sense of humor. Display it on a cheese board at a holiday party, on a kitchen shelf, or among other animal figures on the mantel. Its cheeky charm also makes it a fine office gift for a colleague who always knows where the snacks are hidden.
