"In the forest deep, where the frost-winds swoon,
And evergreens whisper of Pastel Castle rooms,
There wandered a child, her wings of lace,
Worn thin by the journey, yet of fanciful face.
//
Her gown was bold, yet weathered and torn,
A relic of the land where she was born.
A steaming cocoa cup in her slender hands,
Marshmallow colors, bright as cares of new lands.
//
Beside her sat the gnome, so small,
Pink-capped and gruff, yet guiding through all.
His eyes held years no clock could chart,
Yet he followed the girl with a faithful heart.
//
And there by the fire, a Piximas Box lay,
A riddle wrapped in the ribbons of fae.
A gift? A memory? A mystery near;
It shimmered with songs that no one could hear.
//
She spoke to the gnome, her voice like a sigh,
“The moon sinks low; we’ve miles to fly.
Though winter’s teeth may bite and strive,
We’ll walk this path, somehow still alive.”
//
For this was but one of twelve sacred nights,
When Piximas Boxes cast their seeker's lights.
The journey itself holds more magic untold,
And marshmallow dreams keep the wandering soul."

The first 12 collectors of the Piximas Boxes in 2024 received this NFT along with an exclusive physical print, each uniquely featuring a hidden '<3 bp' subtly placed in a different spot. Additional treasures included 3D-printed keepsakes, real hot cocoa, rock candy, and a print with an NFT from the original Piximas collection of 2022. The boxes were offered on a sliding scale payment model, which has proven net positive. Merry Piximas! 🎄✨
