Everyone needs a job around the holiday season, and Pippa the mouse’s job is mending all the winter woolens. You can often find her working diligently by the fireplace, sewing on a loose button or patching a hole in a sock. She may pause for a quick nibble of cheese, but before long she’s right back to work. This time of year, her to-do pile seems never-ending. She started the morning repairing a pair of red mittens, and now she’s adding a button to your favorite coat to make it extra snug and cozy. Moths have gotten into the winter stocking pile, so those will need stitching, too. The wonderful thing about Pippa, though, is that there’s nowhere she’d rather be than by the fire, sewing, stitching, and crafting for those she cares about most.

Mice frequently appear in winter holiday traditions around the world, adding a sense of cozy, woodland warmth to seasonal stories. They often represent a variety of roles and symbolism. In a typical holiday tale, a mouse might quietly inhabit a warm corner of a barn or a small hole in the pantry. However, perhaps the most famous holiday mouse is the Mouse King from the beloved story The Nutcracker. In Nordic folklore, small animals such as mice were viewed as quiet members of the household, tending to the home while humans slept. In stories like these, mice often symbolize resourcefulness, gentle industry, and quiet care. Across many holiday traditions, they embody the busy hum of domestic life and the ever-swinging pendulum between coziness and chaos.
