Item # 11435
Retired on 12/23/03! Long ago, in a land far away, a young husband and his wife were looking for shelter so the woman could give birth to her child. Because there was no room at the inns, the family had to stay in a stable which was constructed as a shelter for the animals.
The story of Christ's birth has always filled people with hope and inspiration. And for centuries all people have wanted a shelter, a place to stay, a home. It is only fitting, then, that the Carpenter Santa is bringing a truly special Christmas gift for the millennium, the tools and labor to build his Hide-A-Way village for terminally ill children. His lantern, tied to his sack, will provide light to read blueprints by and make lists. The tools hanging from his belt and tucked into his sack are worn with years of use, ready for their next important job. But while Christmas is about giving and helping, Santa has not forgotten that it is also about toys and play, and his sack is full of a children's favorite gifts. -- $25.00
