A symbolic figure treasured around the world for centuries, Father Christmas has many cultural names and manifestations. Most believe, however, that Father Christmas is based on the life of the patron saint St. Nicholas (270-310 AD) who was renowned for his generosity to the poor and children. Capturing the spirit of this beloved character is Breyer's white-bearded Father Christmas, dressed in a festive flowing red velvet robe trimmed in ornate green, red and gold, with a matching hat and a sack of presents over his shoulder. His shimmering golden mare, Glittery, has a white mane and white tail with red and gold ribbons, and features "Happy Holidays 2004" delicately printed on her belly. Crafted of artist's resin with hand-painted detailing, our articulated Father Christmas has arms that move! 8th in the Breyer Holiday Horse Series.
