Item Descrption/Story:
That Christmas would be burned in her mind forever. Nothing tragic happened, other than a few broken dishes. What would remain burned in her mind was the wonder, and awe, of Christmas. Just a child, she remembered walking the streets with her parents.
Everything glittered, and made her think of fairies and stardust. The windows gleamed in front of the beautiful displays. A candy store had tasty looking winter wonderland made from all sorts of sweets. The trees were carved pieces of fudge, with the evergreens given a coating of green candy floss to look like needles. White candy floss was the snow. Delicate sugar figurines looked like stained glass as they pranced around; frozen in time.
Another shop had toys of all types. The display was a wonderfully chaotic scene. Moving toys, electronics flashed, all things to grab a child's attention. While it was amazing to look at, that isn't what caught her attention. Oh no, what caught her attention was what reflected in the window. She turned around to the clothing store behind her.
The display had all sorts of bright colors and wonderful designs, but she saw none of it. She was focused on the scarf. The wonderful gold and white scarf. Seeing how transfixed she was by it, her parents took her into the store to look at other things. They gave no hint at their plans.
A week later, on Christmas morning, she opened her gifts. She didn't expect the scarf to be there, but a small part of her had hoped. Then she noticed her stuffed horse. She brought it with her everywhere in the house, so she thought nothing of it when it was on the couch. Now, there was a scarf. A beautiful gold and white scarf.
She ran up to it, and carefully unwrapped it from her horse and put it around her own neck. She looked up at her parents and beamed in pure joy. Then she ran up to them and gave them barrel hugs, a grin still on her face.
Over the years, this scarf would become one of her most prized possessions. As a child, she would tread and play carefully while wearing it. When she became a teen, and eventually young adult, she would still wear it, but only special occasions, or just as comfort.
