That certainly is one of the reasons houses have windows… so we feel the connection with the out-of-doors. Well, the mistress of our Gnome Home… Britta, …
The gnomes enjoy decorating their houses seasonal just like the rest of us. Britta saw the Traditional Snowflakes we scattered throughout the house, and wanted some, too!
