In the true spirit of Christmas the mice do all they can to help the lost and lonely angel by sharing with it their own Christmas gifts. But one good deed deserves another, and when the Snow Angel is finally stronger, it leaves behind a very special bit of herself. Highlighted with glitter trim, the snow angel's wings sparkle for a heavenly effect!
