Hallmark / KEEPSAKE / ORNAMENT / Mitford / Max / The Snowmen of Mitford / DECORATION DES FETES
on back of packaging:
Digging out from under a Christmastime blizzard in / Mitford--where "the snow churns and swirls against / the windows"--is no easy task. In Jan Karon's best-selling / novel, A Light in the Window, this tiny fictional village / is blanketed with a snow that children, being children, / would likely turn into snowmen. But maybe, just maybe, / this snowman was the work of a grown-up who decided / to give up shoveling and give in to a childlike urge, turning / a difficult task into a work of art. / Max joins the previously offered Snowmen of Mitford / Keepsake Ornaments. / For decorative use only. Not for young children. / Concue a des fins decoratives seulement. / Ne convient pas aux jeunes enfants. / Handcrafted - Dated 2000
