One of the most classic and well-known poems of Christmastime, The Night Before Christmas has been read to children for almost 200 years! Gather around the fire with a cup of cocoa and recite it together. Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house. 1 in. x 3.25 in. x 3.75 in. Each figural glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800s. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World Christmas before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.
