Classic Santa Figurine (24" Tall)

Standing a commanding 24 inches (61 cm) tall, this jolly fellow is ready to greet guests at the door, hold court on the mantel, or keep watch beside the tree. He's dressed for the season in a ruby velvet-look coat edged with plush white faux fur and a sparkly band of green sequins, cinched with a black belt and gold buckle. The glossy black boots with gold lacing mean business, even if the twinkle behind his spectacles says otherwise.

Santa's look has been evolving for centuries. The legend starts with Saint Nicholas of Myra, a fourth-century bishop famous for secret gift-giving, but it was Clement Clarke Moore's 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" that gave us the jolly, sleigh-riding elf. Thomas Nast's 19th-century illustrations helped set the red suit and white beard we all picture today. This fellow has his own touches too: a sequined green bag heaped with gold-wrapped gifts and a bottle-brush tree, plus a gold pocket watch, a reminder that Santa has never been great at keeping time on Christmas Eve.
