Angels.
Angels are Immortal spirits that appear to mankind at important moments. They appear to man as messengers of god, bringing messages of comfort, warnings, tests of belief and deliverance. They are also bringers of peace and goodwill. The New Testament tells how the Angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds keeping watch over their flocks to bring them good tidings of great joy, the Birth of Christ, and the multitude of angels proclaimed, Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, goodwill toward men. Everyone has a guardian angel watching over and providing protection from harm. Spreading their loving wings, guardian angels escort us all securely through life. They help lessen our fears and misery, allowing us to be optimistic about whatever the future brings. Check out our selection of Guardian Angel Figurines.

Christmas Cards.
The very modern tradition evolved from English school boys in the early 1800’s. They would send Christmas pieces or greetings to their parents. They were written on decorated sheets to show off their progress in composition and penmanship. In 1842 William Egley tried to make a commercial success of Christmas cards but failed to arouse any interest. In 1847, Sir Henry Cole commissioned J.C. Horsely to make a card. There was little interest at first, but by 1868, it was a common practice in all of England. Louis Prange began the public sale of Christmas card in America in 1875.

Carols comes from choros meaning the dance and aulein to play the flute. The original meaning of the word carol, was a circular dance with no songs, simply to dance in a circle listening to a flute. By the middle ages it became carollen or to sing foyfully. As when troupes of costumed actors traveled from village to village presenting the Christmas plays in song. The earliest dated carol was in 129 A.D. The father of the Christmas carol is attributed to St. Francis, the originator of the Nativity scenes, who taught his people to tell of their Christmas joy in songs.
