History of the French Poodle:
Although the Poodle is usually referred to as the “French” poodle, it’s believed that the Greeks originally bred it for sea sponge diving, and then later the Spanish adopted it for lobster diving. They come in different sizes, with the Standard (more than 15 inches at the highest point of the shoulders), Miniature (10-15 inches) and Toy (less than 10 inches at shoulder height) groups recognized by the AKC. The poodle carries itself proudly, is extremely intelligent, and has been used in circus performances for centuries, as it’s a natural performer. The German word ‘Pudel’ means ‘one who plays in the water‘ while the French refer to it as the ‘Caniche’ or duck dog. They have a thick, curly coat, which is usually shaved in different ‘cuts’ if the dog is being shown, such as the Continental, or the English saddle cut. Due, in part, to its incredible popularity it is also the national dog of France. Select this link to view our animal hand blown glass ornaments.

The Christmas tree:
The Christmas tree is one of the most dominant symbols of the Christmas season all over the world. The decorated and fully lighted Christmas tree has an aura in itself. It fills the air with warmth, love and happiness that are symbolic of the holiday season.
In the Middle Ages, the Germans and Scandinavians placed evergreen trees inside their homes or just outside their doors to show their hope for the forthcoming spring. The modern Christmas tree evolved from these evergreen trees that were regarded as a symbol of life. The tradition then spread to other parts of Europe and the entire world.
According to a legend, the Christmas tree is associated with the birth of Jesus Christ. It is believed that on the night of the birth of Christ, all kinds of living creatures came to Bethlehem with gifts. The olive tree came along with its fruit and the palm with its date but the fir had nothing to gift the newborn king. So an angel, taking pity on the fir, commanded a cluster of stars to shine on its beautiful boughs. Baby Jesus smiled on seeing the lighted tree, and blessed it. Consequently, the fir tree is always lighted with many decorations on it, to please little children during Christmas.
Even the decorations on the Christmas trees draw their root in traditional values. The crystal balls symbolizes the fruit of redemption, the electric light or the candles are ancient symbols that stand for the triumph of spring over the darkness of winter. The light also symbolizes the light that Jesus Christ cast upon the lives of the people. The dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit, while the bell symbolizes the joys of life.
