Description
This Christmas mouse decoration holds a neatly wrapped present in both hands, dressed for the season in a smart red jacket and dark green trousers. Its head and large rounded ears are cream, with a dusting of gold sparkle across the crown and the inner ears, and it looks out with shiny black eyes above a little gold nose and fine whiskers. A gold braid trims the collar and runs down the front of the jacket, the mittens and boots shine gold, and the green present is tied with a gold ribbon bow. It stands 28cm tall, 11.8cm wide and 14cm deep, a good size to be noticed without crowding a shelf.
We think it looks its best on a mantelpiece, a hall table, a windowsill or a bookshelf, where it can stand on its own feet and greet everyone who comes through the door over Christmas. It sits happily among greenery, pine cones and other festive pieces, and its cream, red, green and gold colouring suits a traditional Christmas scheme. Because it stands rather than hangs, it works well at eye level on a dresser or sideboard, or set beneath the tree among the wrapped presents, where its own little gift fits right in.
The face is finished with care, from the gold sparkle on the head and ears to the long fine whiskers, and the arms are posed to cradle the present close to the jacket. To keep it looking fresh, dust it gently with a soft dry brush or cloth, keep it away from damp and direct heat, and store it upright in a box when the decorations come down. Set it out early in December and it will become one of those familiar faces the household looks forward to seeing each year, and it makes a cheerful Christmas gift for anyone who loves dressing the house for the season.
