The Old-Fashioned Santa That Brings a Little Nostalgia to the Tree.

Charmed House Interiors · Ornaments

There's something about a traditional Santa that no modern ornament can replace — that jolly, rosy-cheeked figure in his flowing red coat, the very picture of Christmases remembered. This little Father Christmas stands five and a half inches, sculpted with the charm of a vintage keepsake but made to last, ready to take pride of place on the tree year after year. The kind of ornament that becomes part of the family story.

"The ornament the children will fight over one day."

Style note — the tree: Hang him at a child's eye level, front and centre, where his cheerful face greets everyone who passes.

Style note — the shelf: Perch him on a mantel or bookshelf among greenery for a little vignette all his own.

The nostalgic keepsake that makes the tree feel like home.

Two Ways to Style It

Front and centre on a family tree, warm and nostalgic. Hang him low where little ones can spot him, surrounded by warm-white lights and traditional red baubles. In his flowing red coat he anchors a classic, storybook tree — the friendly face children look for first every December.

Perched in a mantel vignette, charming and characterful. Sit him among a nest of evergreen sprigs and pinecones on the mantel or a bookshelf, alongside a few candles. Away from the tree, this old-fashioned Santa becomes a little character in his own scene — the kind of detail guests smile at on their way past.
