From Old World Christmas. When the lakes and ponds freeze over in the winter, one of the most popular activities is ice-skating. Who can forget the excitement of Christmas morning and discovering a beautiful pair of skates under the tree? This ornament makes a fun gift for anyone who loves to skate, even if they still slip now and then! The bright pearly white skates with silver blades are a sight to behold and are all wrapped up in a red bow, ready to be gifted... unless you keep them to yourself!
