Snowman Couple Christmas Ornament

Favorite ornament?A snowman couple made out of Christmas balls, A bit of stiff taffeta and a silk skirt on Mama Snowman A tiny blue jacket on Daddy Snowman A miniscule red gift box ties them together It used to be grandma’s, and I loved it on her Christmas tree. It made me feel safe, somehow. I imagined the snowmen were angels, masquerading as snow people I dreamed that they checked the house at night, keeping us safe When grandma passed, I was asked to name something I wanted. Without hesitation I wanted her snow couple ornament. She had hidden it away, it took us two months to find. Wrapped around them was a strip of material with my name on it.
