Description
On the hill above the village, where the wind blows hardest, two snow people stand close together. They were built on the same December afternoon by two children who, years later, would marry. Through every frosty night that winter, while the wind whistled and the snowflakes swirled, the pair never once let go of each other’s twig hands. Each morning the baker’s children waved at them on the way to school, and the couple always seemed to smile back.
Winter romance has its own special glow, and this pair of snow sweethearts captures it beautifully. They make a charming gift for a couple’s first Christmas together, a December wedding or anniversary, or a Valentine’s surprise for someone who loves the snow. Place them on a mantel between two candles, on a dressing table or near the bed, so they can stand together all year, just as they did on that hill.
