Cairn Christmas 1994 Story

Item #6310

(March, 1994) In the forest, like the city, – Christmas comes to one and all. – It’s the time for celebration – And to brightly deck the hall. – The chipmunk thinks it’s fun and games, – But then, he can’t recall – The careful planning that takes place – All throughout the fall. – The Gnome says this tradition – (Which we’ve honored since St. Paul) – Is for the infant Christ Child – Who was born in manger stall. – These kindred spirits, Chipmunk and Gnome, – Will raise a tree so tall, – Then place upon a fragrant branch – This special Christmas ball. 

Cairn Christmas 1994 is the first offering in the new Cairn Studio annual Christmas collection. This Kindred Spirits statue is a glimpse into the world of the Woodspirits and their animal neighbors – at Christmas time! The Gnome is putting the finishing touches on a new red ornament, and the chipmunk is eagerly waiting to carry it to the top of the tree. Tom Clark and Tim Wolfe have left their signature touches – a snail from Tim and from Tom, a 1652 coin from Massachusetts (spelled Masathusets) that shows a pine tree. Like ourselves, these forest friends (who are truly kindred spirits) enjoy the annual traditions of this most special holiday season.
