In the early 19th century, the traditional English figure of Father Christmas was quite different from the modern Santa. He was often depicted wearing green robes, representing the "Spirit of Christmas" and the survival of nature through winter. Rather than just a gift-bringer, he was a symbol of hospitality, feasting, and midwinter merrymaking.
This version is based on the traditional Father Christmas from British folklore. Before the global popularity of the red suit, the English version was known for wearing green to match the evergreens of the season, like holly and ivy, symbolizing the return of spring and the enduring warmth of the holiday spirit.

This is a delicate decorative art piece meant for display - it is not a toy. Although they are densely felted, they should be handled with care and kept out of reach of small children, pets and moths.
They can get dusty over time and can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner on a gentle setting. Do not wash.
Should any part be accidently pulled off, it can be replaced with the aid of a special felting needle.
