Snow Urchins are the caretakers of the tiny and helpless wildlife of the woodlands. They perform various important tasks which include feeding seeds and nuts to the winter birds, field mice and other fragile creatures. They also protect animal babies such as bunnies, opossums, and yearling fawns who may have become orphaned by hungry foxes, bobcats or hunters. The Snow Urchins keep them warm, fed and loved in special boroughs and hidden caves through the worst of winter weather. Some Urchins carry bags of seeds and nibbles as they move silently through the underbrush at night.
The Snow Urchins have very strong healing powers and should they find an injured or sick animal during their daily rounds, the little animal is brought back to the caverns where herbal broths and concoctions are ministered to the little patient in order to restore it to good health. Because they are very clever at moving about unnoticed through the snowy woodlands, Snow Urchins have rarely been seen by human beings. They are masters of disguise and often strap false rabbit footprints to the bottoms of their beautiful red curly-toed boots so that their prints in the snow confuse even the most seasoned of trackers. However, on very rare occasions, and especially on Christmas Eve if it snows, the little Snow Urchins will allow themselves to be seen by children and the very young-at-heart.
So, this Christmas Eve, if there is a magical snowfall, peek out your window and you just might see a little Snow Urchin blow you a kiss for Christmas.
