In an outfit inspired by a traditional riding costume We Wish You A Merry Christmas is full of seasonal cheer. The soft green fabric of her hunting jacket and full pleated skirt is complemented by the ribbon and bow to her hat. Gilded details include buttons and trims to her jacket, gold stud earrings and on the ribbon on the carefully wrapped present. Royal Doulton's designers have been inspired by the iconic lyrics and images presented by well known Christmas songs to create a series of elegant petite figurines. Graceful, stylish and wrapped up against the winter chill the figurines reflect a timeless tradition that harks back to the Victorian Age. Carols were originally songs with a chorus or refrain that accompanied a dance but over the centuries the meaning of the word became more specific - and described songs or hymns expressing religious joy, especially at Christmas. Carols and Christmas songs have continued to evolve and now also reflect the witty and more secular aspects of the season. We Wish You A Merry Christmas dates backs to the 16th century when it was performed as the last song by England's West Country carol singers. It was also a hint for house holders to reward the singers with a small treat - initially a figgy pudding (a kind of Christmas pudding) but nowadays, a mince pie.
