Arctic Santa and Friends
Item Sku: 13997

Arctic Santa and Friends


Limited Edition of 3200, Individually Numbered
Although the Arctic Circle is a vast land of frozen terrain, it is not barren. Animals like the Arctic Fox, Polar Bear and Snow Owl have learned to adapt to this cruel and harsh climate. All the animals have dense fur to protect them from the sub zero temperatures, giving them a cuddly appearance. The Arctic Fox lives in dens and digs tunnels in the snow for his family. He is about the size of a cat with thick pads on his feet to protect him from the cold. The Arctic Hare pulls his ears back and huddles in the wind to keep warm. He eats plants and twigs, using his sharp front claws to dig in the ice. The Arctic Tern, sitting on Santa's shoulder, flies thousands of miles from the South Pole to nest and raise its young. The Polar Bear, the world's largest bear, has feet like snow shoes to help him move about and his thick fur and layers of fat keep him warm so that he is able to swim the frigid waters. The Snowy Owl, so named because he is pure white, lives in the Arctic all year round. His feet are covered in fur and have thick pads. His incredible vision helps him hunt for food. Today the Snow Owl is guiding the Artic Santa through the blowing wind and snow. Santa is also dressed in thick warm clothing to protect him from this harsh but beautiful region. The people of the Arctic Circle are vitally dependent on the animals for their survival and as Santa treks through the land his Arctic friends are beside him for protection and guidance.

Night Journey Santa


Limited Edition 3200, Individually Numbered
A journey through the night can be arduous and dangerous, especially when gusting winds whip winter snows into a blinding frenzy as they howl through the trees obscuring roads and paths. Why is it then that every Christmas Santa travels through the night to deliver gifts to little children all over the world? Perhaps it is to signify that gifts are something precious and require effort, thoughtfulness and tenacity to deliver. The Night Journey Santa knows this and he can venture forth through the night because he has his lantern, symbolizing the Light of Christ, to guide him through any storm, assuring him of a safe and successful journey.

Artist Santa


Limited Edition 3200, Individually Numbered
“Santa may be one of the most creative people in the world; after all, he designs and makes toys for children of every race, creed and nationality. Santa has also inspired artists, poets and authors throughout his long history. Being an artist, I find my Artist Santa very dear to my heart. I have been drawing since I was a young child. I would look through books and books that feature paintings by the masters. Then I would put pencil to paper and gradually develop my own style. Take some time and find the artist in you.” - Pipka

Julenissen of Norway Item Sku: 13996

Julenissen of Norway


Limited Edition of 3200, Individually Numbered
Norway, one of the oldest countries in Europe, is populated by a hard working people, decedents of Vikings who once ruled much of northern Europe. Situated close to the Arctic and surrounded by the Baltic and Norwegian Sea, Norway, is a self-sufficient country steeped in cultural values and folksy traditions while at the same time it greets the 21st century with open arms. Harsh and long frigid winters have allowed many mountainous villages to remain comparatively isolated, thereby insuring the continuance of centuries old crafts, customs and beliefs. One of these beliefs is in the Nisse, a mischievous little elf who, through his deeds, keeps everyone on his toes, especially at Christmas time. A bowl of porridge is left out for the Nisse to appease him and deter him from his usual pranks. Like every Christmas, the Julenissen of Norway travels the snow covered hills and mountains to deliver the Norwegian Pine Christmas tree and gifts to children all over Norway. Santa wears a beautiful warm fur lined coat embroidered in the colorful Norwegian style. His belt buckle, handcrafted of silver, cinches his knitted tunic while fur lined elk skin boots keep his feet warm. God Jul!

Bell Ringer Father Christmas Item Sku: 13998

Bell Ringer Father Christmas


Limited Edition of 3200, Individually Numbered
In many small villages of Europe, the arrival of Father Christmas is announced by the loud ringing of his bell. Sometimes the entrance to the village has a little arbor where the bell hangs. When children hear the clanging sound, they know Father Christmas is coming to their home to question them about their behavior over the past year. As Father Christmas goes to each door to question the children, they are filled with trembling and anticipation. If they were naughty, there will be consequences, but if they have been good, the sack is opened and delightful surprises burst forth. Fortunately, for most children the bell signifies good things to come from the stern but kind Bell Ringer Father Christmas.
