Item Sku: 11496 Father Belsnickle Open Edition cold-cast resin The Pennsylvania Dutch, who were not Dutch at all, but "Deutch", or German, are credited with bringing many of their country's Christmas customs with them to America. This helped to shape the New World Christmas traditions. As early as the 1820's, Father Christmas shows up in Pennsylvania as Belsnickle, of the German "Pelz-nickle", which means "Nicholas in Furs". Belsnickle would travel the Pennsylvania countryside looking for good children to give out his small gifts of cakes, nuts and handmade toys. Father Belsnickle has a carved staff, a traditional craft of the German Pennsylvanians, and is accompanied by a little kitty that just might be tucked into some lucky little child's stocking on Christmas Eve. 4" Height |

Item Sku: 11490 Austrian Father Christmas Open Edition cold-cast resin Christmas in Austria is a magical time. In the snow-covered Alps, families descend from their mountain homes to the valley below, illuminating the night with torches held high to light their way. Carolers gather in churches and town squares to sing and celebrate the season. Christmas trees are purchased around the 24th of December and are decorated with real candles that will be lit for the evening’s festivities. The Austrian Santa is from the Alps. He wears a simple warm brown wool coat and boiled wood embroidered slippers. However, he has adorned his cap with sprigs of holly and berries and in his heavily embroidered sack are gifts that every child will love as well as the beloved Austrian Christmas tree. A pocket watch tells him to keep on schedule and a lighted lantern guides him around snowy mountain paths. 4" Height |

Item Sku: 11482 MacNicholas Ornament Open Edition cold-cast resin A Scottish Christmas is filled with customs old and new, skits, games, food and merriments.

His sack carries a Scotch Pine, brightly wrapped packages, a bright blue fishing boat, and a Scottish Terrier are certain to light up the eyes of a wee lad or lassie. Wassail is a favorite among the delicious foods and beverages served at Christmas time. This drink, consisting of ale, roast apples, eggs, sugar and spices, is stirred up for young and old alike. Tis customary to leave a meat pie and a jug of wassail for Father Christmas, much like we leave milk and cookies for Santa.

Item Sku: 11483 Toy Santa Ornament Open Edition cold-cast resin Christmas is the time to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child, and for most children around the world, it is also the time to receive a much-desired toy. The practice of gift giving is as old as the tradition of the Three Kings who brought gifts to Jesus. Yet the custom of giving children toys for Christmas has a much more recent source. The Puritans, who settled our country, did not approve of Christmas gift giving. They bestowed hand-carved arks and religious toys on their children. Ever since that time, mothers and fathers have been giving toys to their children, disguised as Santa Claus. Toy Santa's sack and arms are full of Christmas treasures. He carries so many playthings that he must stuff them in his pockets. He asked Mrs. Santa to sew pockets inside his coat for holding more toys! The Toy Santa doesn't want to disappoint anyone this Christmas. He even hangs toys from his belt to be certain that he bears the perfect gift for everyone. . . somewhere! 4" Height |

Item Sku: 11487 Purr-fect Santa Nap Ornament Open Edition cold-cast resin Santa loves all animals, but there is just something so purr-fect about taking a nap with his cats. He has quite a few because, as Earnest Hemingway said, "One cat just leads to another" and he just can't seem to say "no" when a cat is in need or appears on his doorstep. Besides, what could be better than having a warm, purring body, or two, on your lap while you nap? The busy world slows down to the magical rhythm of the cat, peace sets in, and sleep is deep and refreshing. Each cat and kitten is a work of art to be admired in awe, for as a famous artist once said, “The smallest feline is a masterpiece." It seems Leonardo da Vinci knew what he was talking about. Sleep well, Santa! Pipka shares her life with her cat, Tigger. Today, Tigger is visiting Santa, perched above Santa’s left shoulder. 4" Height |

Item Sku: 11486 Snowman Santa Ornament Open Edition cold-cast resin The Snowman Santa has made some wonderful snowmen dolls for children around the world, especially those who live in the land of snow and glaciers. Since everything is so white in the mountains and snow covered plains, Santa has wrapped all the gift packages in bright red papers to add cheerful color under the Christmas tree. Santa himself wears a bright red scarf and hat so as not to blend into the icy terrain. The anxious children’s imagination can see him coming from miles away and anxiously await his jovial arrival. The Snowman Santa was inspired by the many cold, snow-filled winters of Door County, Wisconsin, where Pipka lives and spends endless hours in her quaint, inspirational studio. Many years ago, Pipka would be seen outside with her daughter, Angie and son, Jon, making their snow friend. Now that her children are grown, it’s her grandchildren that convince Grandma to bundle up and have fun in the snow. 4" Height |

Item Sku: 11488 Santa of Poland Ornament Open Edition cold-cast resin The Polish people are intensely traditional in their holiday celebrations and this is exemplified at Christmas time. Stories and songs are sung around a Christmas tree decorated with nuts, apples, colored paper and straw ornaments. Gifts lay wrapped beneath its boughs. Friends and family come to visit and partake in Wiglia, the traditional Christmas dinner, where often a place is left empty at the table for the Christ Child. But most important to Poles, is the true meaning of Christmas and the creche set in one of the most cherished Christmas decorations that is displayed in homes. The Santa of Poland, wearing a warm fur lined cape keeps the cold Polish winters out and goes from home to home delivering the crèche as the true symbol of Christmas, Christ's birth. 4" Height |

Item Sku: 11489 French Father Christmas Ornament Open Edition cold-cast resin The French countryside is cool and grey as Christmas time approaches but spirits are high and children are filled with gleeful anticipation. Baking, cleaning and making small gifts begins in early December but decorating is left to the last moments before Christmas Eve. A small tree filled with lights and chocolates sits on top of a little table, gifts spread beneath its branches. But first and foremost is the attendance of evening mass to celebrate the birthday of the Baby Jesus. During this time Pere Noel, French Father Christmas, comes to add that special gift that each child has been dreaming about for weeks. After mass, the children are allowed to open their gifts, songs are sung and the whole family enjoys the Christmas pastries. On Christmas Day, families visit each other to share a traditional multi-course French dinner during which time storytelling and conversation punctuate each course. France is similar to many European countries in the celebration of family and friends at Christmas time. 4" Height |

Item Sku: 11485 Irish Christmas Santa Ornament Open Edition cold-cast resin The Irish Christmas Santa carries a very special Christmas sign reminiscent of the beautiful old ironwork signs that prevail in Ireland, which reads, “Nollaig Shona Duit”, and means “Happy Christmas Day”’ the most common Christmas greeting. A cape to ward off blustery Irish winds keeps warm as does his cable knit Irish sweater. In Santa’s sack we find some Irish goodies; lucky coins, fishing boat, a large shamrock, jar of orange marmalade, book of Irish proverbs and a sheep rocker. Santa stands before Irish stone fences which are prevalent all around the countryside. This jolly Irish man, with a twinkle in his eyes, will make sure that everyone has a “Nollaig Sona Duit.” 4" Height |

Item Sku: 11477 Pipka Alaskan Sled Ride Ornament As Santa rides, he thinks about the famous Iditarod Sled Dog Race hosted by Alaska each year. The event begins in Anchorage and ends in Nome. Mushers cross 1,150 miles of the roughest, coldest, and most beautiful terrain Mother Nature has to offer. Just like the Iditarod competitors, Santa travels over the jagged mountain ranges, frozen rivers, desolate tundras, and miles of wind-swept coastline. He mushes not to win a race, but to deliver gifts and holiday wishes. Open Edition cold-cast resin 4" Height |
