Snow for Christmas - a wish that unfortunately doesn't always come true. Our Christmas item for the next four days is a snowflake that will tell us more about white Christmas. Let us start by introducing the little snowflake. Its motto is:

I am so unique, there is no one like me.
Date of origin: When it's cold and damp enough.

Personality: Fragile, beautiful, a little arrogant. Snowflakes are delicate and elegant, but their existence is often short-lived. They love community. When many snowflakes come together, they can do great things and create an impressive blanket of snow.

Appearance: Fragile, unique, hexagonal and sparkling.

Special skill: Can turn anything into a glittering winter wonderland like in a fairy tale and bring joy to people's hearts.

Controversy & Scandal: Regularly disappears at temperatures above 0 °C.
