Father Christmas
Every Sylvanian loves Christmas. Once December 1st arrives the whole village is filled with excitement, from young to old. They all know Father Christmas will be visiting soon. The streets are always bustling, more than usual with excited families out shopping for presents and food. Once Christmas Eve arrives, everyone meets to sing Christmas Carols in the village square. After a wishing each other 'Happy Christmas' and sharing some nice egg nog, everyone makes their way home. Christmas Eve is probably the only night where all Sylvanians go to bed early, in anticipation. Before they go to bed though, they always leave a nice mince pie out for Father Christmas, and some carrots for his reindeer.
The first Christmas figure released by Flair was 'Father Christmas' in the summer of 2006. The original set contained the Father Christmas figure, a Christmas Tree (not the one pictured above), decorations, toys, a stocking and a miniature Willow Hall building. The figure that was released looked different to the one on the box and the promotion pictures. The one in the pictures was a plain bear, similar to the Sainsbury's bear, but the released figure was a Marmalade bear, in the same mould as the Calico Critters Marmalade mould.
