The Whole of Christmas Eve, Captured in One Ornament.

Charmed House Interiors · Ornaments

Father Christmas caught mid-delivery beside a brick fireplace, complete with hanging stockings, a mantel clock reading almost midnight, glowing embers and a star-strewn garland. Blown glass, hand-painted throughout, with iridescent tinsel trim on his coat and glitter picking out the fire. Layer upon layer of detail — a proper collector's piece.

Everything you loved about Christmas as a child, in your hand.

Style note — the tree: Hang it low and forward on a sturdy branch where children can find it.

Style note — the display: Rest it in a glass dome or on the mantel as a small seasonal tableau.

Two Ways to Style It

On a full, traditional tree. Surround it with red velvet ribbon, gold stars and warm white lights so the storybook palette carries right through.

As a keepsake on the mantel. Sit it beside a real clock and stockings, echoing the scene it depicts — one for the children to spot themselves.
