Cairn Christmas 1995 Story

Item #6314

(September, 1994) Outside, the dark, frosty night is quiet. Inside, the kitchen is a happy quilt of sounds as supper is cooked and the day’s news is exchanged. Then, by the window, a tiny whisper of music is heard from far away, and it becomes louder and sweeter until there is a joyful noise right on the front porch. Carolers! It just wouldn’t be Christmas without music. Sharing a songbook, the Woodspirit and his rabbit buddy are singing their way through the forest neighborhood to spread, as their coin says, season’s greetings. This Kindred Spirits creation is the second in Cairn Studio’s series of annual , dated Christmas figurines. These two carolers have but one wish for you: “We wish you a Merry Christmas!”

In the forest, like the city, – Christmas comes to one and all. – In the distance, like a whisper, – Hear the forest carolers call. – As their voices, gently singing, – Carry through the winter night, – Families gather, doorways open, – Suddenly the dark is bright. – Let the joyful sound be heard – In every corner of the glen, – It’s Christmas time, with this one wish: – Peace on earth, good will to men.
