It'd make a great short story. Two folks who enact this little drama two or three times a day.
But let's make it a charming Hollywood flick. So of course this couple would start out completely hating each other's guts. Maybe they have a past together. Maybe they just don't like each other. But by the end of the Christmas season, wouldn't you know it? They fall in love. The big climax comes on their last skate out when she proposes to him, for real!
And then a voice from far up behind the toy soldiers hollers "DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED FOR THOSE DIAMONDS?"
