Pipka France Santa
5.25" Tall
On Christmas Eve, French children leave their shoes by the fireplace to be filled with nuts, fruit, and small toys from Père Noël, Father Christmas. Santa holds a nativity set. In France, a Nativity, usually made of clay instead of wood, decorates the house. The figures are known as Santons or 'Little Saints.' French Nativity sets have the normal figures in them, but also include everyday figures such as a Butcher, a Baker, a Policeman, and a Priest. Santa also cradles the traditional Christmas Yule Log Cake. The French make the log-shaped cake called the buche de Noel, which means "Christmas Log." The cake is served at the grand feast of the season called le Réveillon.
