Christmas is a time for giving and I often think that is what makes it such a lovely time of the year. Nothing makes you feel as good as giving something to someone that you know they have wanted and will enjoy. There is a special warmth that comes from this, a very long lasting kind of feeling that you can warm yourself with any time you think about it. It is truly "More blessed to give than to receive." (See Leslie's little story at the bottom of the segment for the perfect illustration of what I have just said.)

C1/C2. The Choir Boy and Girl Boxes. It is Christmas Eve and as we peek into the church the choir is singing," Oh Come All Ye Faithful". They look and sound like angels, these little boys and girls with their high pitched voices. Why is it that Christmas Eve the choir always sounds at it's best? Dressed in surplice with high white collars, red under gowns and their music books open, their young voices fill the church with heavenly music. (The open books of music, by the way, have staves and notes painted on them.) Inside, more music and the clasp is unimportant to the box. Retail: About $177.00. Our price: $159.90.

D. The Littlest Angel Box. The photograph says all there is to say about this wonderfully charming figure with the face of an angel. It is such a perfect rendition of a chubby little one that it touches your heart. The relief work on the piece is exceptional, the wing sculpting -- exquisite. Retail: About $247.00. Our price: $222.90. Repeat performance because it is still the best of it's kind.

D2. The Most Heavenly Angel Box. The face on this infant is simply enchanting. The expression angelic! The features so lovely, the skin translucent, the mouth that of a cherub, the hair, the hands, the chubby little feet, all are perfect. If you have ever dreamed of a having an angel box this is, without doubt, the one you will want. A dove of love rests on her lap. The flowers, swags and beading on the base are all in bas relief. A French bow for the clasp. Our price $175.90. This is the last ever of this marvelous piece.

E. The Angel on a Cloud Box. From Parry Vieille came, last year, the sweetest angel with the dearest face. She is holding her harp to her ear and her music must be heavenly to bring a smile like hers to her face. Inside, a cloud with the sun breaking through, painted, and the clasp, a tiny harp just like the one she is playing. Retail: About $155.00. Our price: $139.90. Repeat performance because we think it is one of the prettiest angels ever.

F. The New Nativity Box! (Picture coming soon) This is a brand new version of the nativity and it is exceptional. The detail achieved in it is remarkable and that includes both the sculpting of the piece and the painting. Every feature of these minute figures is clearly seen even though the largest of the figures is not more than 3/4 of an inch tall. The box itself is 2 3/8 inches at the roof peak. The figures include The Three Wise Men, a cow, an ass and, of course, the three central characters. The walls of the Stable are textured as if made of stone and the roof is done in relief as well. An incredibly fine version of this dear to our hearts scene. Retail: About $343.00. Our price: $294.90.

Leslie's Lovely Little Story
You may remember that we had elves for Christmas for several years and I heard the dearest story about them just recently, from one of our customers. It relates the tale of for whom and why she bought a set of the elves. It was so sweet that I thought I would pass it on to you so you could enjoy it as well. A very dear friend of hers is whom she is writing about. Unfortunately we do not have elves this year but--I thought you would enjoy Leslie's little story anyway.

"Her collection of elves goes way back to her childhood days when the month of December came along, and her parents came up with two imaginary elves named Jingle-o and Jolly-o who would leave notes and treats and small gifts just about anywhere you could think of--and they only left 'goodies' if the girls were being exceptionally good. Their entire family enjoyed these two fictional elves so much that each of the four girls carried on the same tradition with their own children who are now in their late teens and twenties.

Now, whenever I find a special elf to add to her collection, I grab it up and wait until a special occasion when I can surprise her with it -- so much FUN for me too! (There's nothing quite like the good feeling you get when you just KNOW you found "The Perfect Gift" for a particular person!) This second little elf will be hers at Christmastime this year and I know she'll LOVE it...can't wait!)"
