Russian Santas
When my cousin posted on Facebook a picture of her Russian Santa collecion, I was intrigued. I have seen them before in passing, in various Christmas Shops ( or should I type Shoppes? ) but really didn’t give them more than a quick glance. But today, I did some research and fell in love. Each Santa is carved from solid wood and painted in stunning detail with rich designs and beautiful scenes. http://www.russiansantapurveyors.com/ The Russian Santa also called Father Frost, Ded Moroz, and Grandfather Frost, looks like our American Santa Claus… but take a closer look and you notice a few differences. Yes, they both wear boots, a coat, and they both have white beards. However, The Russian Santa wears a long heel-length coat and is seen walking with a magical staff and his hat is round and fur lined. Just look at the detail. This one is paticularly pretty with a nativity on his gown. http://www.reasonstobelieve.com/ And...
