The "Bell Ringing Father Christmas is one of the 2008 Limited Edition pieces, numbered 373/3200, Memories of Christmas series.

In many small villages of Europe, the arrival of Father Christmas is announced by the loud ringing of his bell. Sometimes the entrance to the village has a little arbor where the bell hangs. When children hear the clanging sound,they know Father Christmas is coming their home to question them about their behavior over the past year. If they have been good, the sack is opened and delightful surprises burst forth. Fortunately, for most children the bell signifies good things to come from the stern but kind Bell Ringer Father Christmas.
