Christmas Ice Skating

It is said that the first instance of ice skating happened about 4000 years ago in Finland. The skates were made of sharpened bone attached to the foot which enabled the skater to glide over the ice. Nowadays, the blades are made of metal with sharpened edges which allow the skate to cut into the ice.

Ice skating is a popular winter sport which everyone can enjoy and, if you are a skater or have a skater in your family, some of these gifts with vintage images might make an excellent choice for Christmas.
