Custom-built Peter Pauper Press - Cardinals in Winter Deluxe Boxed Holiday Cards

12 Days of Xmas - Special Edition		KAES1941
	"Special Edition" 2013 This musical Santa is the tenth nutcracker in this popular series and should complete the collection with a fabulous design that has Santa in a rich red/gold coat holding the partridge in a Pear tree. At his feet lies a music box in his bag along with a book of the 12 Days. The stack of blocks spin to reveal all 12 days. This Steinbach series was first introduced in 2004, so this fellow acts as a bookend to the collection. The "Twelve Days Of Christmas" series should conclude with this newest addition to this Steinbach series

The Steinbach firm introduced the first santa in this series in 2004. "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is an English Christmas carol which enumerates a series of grandiose gifts given on each of the twelve days of Christmas. It is a cumulative song, meaning that each verse is built on top of the previous verses. It has been one of the most popular and most-recorded Christmas songs in America and Europe throughout the past century. The Twelve Days of Christmas as a celebration and festival is old and steeped in traditions from Christian cultures around the world. For many, the idea of the 12 days as a length of celebration is based on a sequence of verses in the Holy Bible (Matthew 2:1-12), and a belief that it may have taken 12 days for the three kings (also called wise men or magi) to travel to Bethlehem after first seeing the Debra LaCroix (pronounced La Qwa).
