Jolly Old Kris Kringle Gem

Hop aboard for holiday cheer with this jolly old elf of a Santa, grinning from ear to ear in his classic red suit. He's ready to deliver gifts and spread a little Christmas magic wherever he hangs, and he's sure to make the whole tree look merrier.

Kris Kringle is one of the many names for Santa Claus, and the name comes from the German "Christkindl," or "Christ child," which was later shortened and altered over time. Santa's red suit is a fairly recent look: the familiar version was popularized by advertising illustrations in the early 20th century. This ornament honors that tradition, and it's a bit of glassmaking history too, since Poland has been crafting fine glass for centuries.
