Description
This Christmas countdown plaque, with its little Highland cow in a red Santa hat, makes a cheerful job of counting the days until Christmas. It is a long, slim strip of MDF in a warm brown wood-effect finish, with a wavy white edging along the top and bottom like a fresh fall of snow. The numbers 1 to 25 run along its length in white, and the Highland cow, perched on a sprig of greenery and red berries, sits above them as your marker. It measures 47.8cm wide, 4.5cm high and 1.8cm deep, long enough for every number to be easy to read.
It is made as a mantel plaque, so its natural home is along the mantelpiece, where its slim depth lets it sit neatly in front of cards or a garland. A deep windowsill, a hall shelf or the top of a bookcase in the living room or kitchen suits it as well. The idea is simple: from the first of December, move the Highland cow along one number each day, and when it reaches 25 it is Christmas Day. It turns the wait into a small daily moment for the household, and it is a lovely choice for anyone with a soft spot for Highland cows and a country-style Christmas.
The plaque is made from MDF, and the Highland cow moves, so you can set it at whichever number you need when the decoration comes out. At 1.8cm deep it tucks away easily with your Christmas things in January. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp, steam and direct heat. For a cosy country look, set it among a run of greenery and pine cones along the mantel, or give it as an early present at the end of November so the countdown can begin on the first.
