Description
This Christmas countdown plaque brings a shaggy Highland cow in a red Santa hat to your wall, ready to keep track of the days until the big day. The rectangular board is white, washed with soft wintry greys and pale blue behind the cow. On the right, two red number tags with white numerals hang from small gold-coloured hooks above the words 'DAYS UNTIL Christmas', lettered in black with a flowing script for Christmas. The cow is a cut-out piece set on the front, and its curved horns and the bobble of its hat reach just past the edge of the board. It measures 19.5cm across and 2.3cm deep.
Hang it in the hallway, the kitchen or the living room and it becomes the household's daily reminder of how close Christmas is getting. Each morning you lift off a tag and hang the next number in its place, so the count drops day by day as the big day draws near. The red tags stand out clearly against the pale board and are easy to read from across the room. Its rustic, country look suits farmhouse kitchens and cottage hallways alike, and it makes a cheerful Christmas gift for anyone who loves the shaggy charm of Highland cattle.
It hangs from a cord loop at the top, so all it needs is a hook or a nail on the wall or a door. A small bell in a rust-brown finish hangs beneath the lettering from a little bow and adds a homely farmhouse touch. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth. After Christmas, store the spare tags with the plaque in a box so everything is together when you bring it out again. We like it hung at eye level near the front door, or wrapped up as an early Christmas present that gets weeks of use.
