Description
“Too tired,” grumbled Rudolph, collapsing into the straw, and the other reindeer nodded in agreement. It had been a long December. So Santa, never one to disappoint, borrowed a hot air balloon from the village fair, loaded the basket with presents and lifted off into the snowy sky. All night he drifted over chimneys and church spires, and down below, children pressed to their windows swore they saw a little lantern glowing among the clouds.
Tall and imaginative, this piece commands attention wherever it lands. Santa rides in his balloon basket, suspended above a brass stand, so the whole scene seems to float. Set it at the centre of a Christmas dinner table, at the end of a mantel or on a sideboard where guests can admire it from every angle. It makes a marvellous gift for a pilot, a balloon enthusiast or anyone who builds a bigger holiday scene each year.
