| Item # 13955 A cottage is a small, simple dwelling usually found in the country. In the past, these humble houses were occupied by farmers and workers, but today cottages are often a second home where families go to get away from the fast-paced city life. In these modern times, a cottage is a retreat, a place to renew one's spirit and enjoy the outdoors. The Cottage Santa and Angel are imbued with the cottage spirit. Warmth, love and comfort are only some of the gifts they bring to the cottage. They know cottagers value old treasures, so he has found a delicate feather tree for the cottage table. Handcrafted gifts are appreciated by all those who await the Cottage Santa, and no one will be disappointed, for his basket is full of little toys, houses, dolls and even a Santa, all made by his workers. The Cottage Santa and Angel treads through the snow, opens the old wrought iron gate and enters the warm cottage. They deliver a little red and white felt heart which hangs from his pocket, and a tiny reindeer. More gifts are pulled out of his sack and placed around the tree: a little Victorian church, a miniature Adirondack chair and even a little bird's nest he found lying in the snow. The Cottage Santa hangs the colorful knit stocking which hold fruit, nuts and gifts on a hook on the fireplace mantle. The Cottage Santa and Angel will sit for just a moment by the crackling hearth and warm his toes. A plate of cookies and a glass of milk have been left there for them. The cottage feels toasty warm. Ahh, life is good. The Cottage Santa and Angel wishes that everyone will have a warm, cozy cottage Christmas! |
