Have you been to Pisa recently? Or has someone you know? Then this Italian Santa tree decoration could be the perfect gift this Christmas!



This is the kind of Santa we love - a traditional Italian figure. He comes not with toys, but with a basket laden with wonderful Italian food, symbolising bringing to you and your family his wishes for a prosperous year. Bread, signifying a time of good harvests and good food, and wine, without which no Italian Christmas would be complete!



How do we know he's Italian? Well, his basket is lined with the Italian flag and in his right hand, his staff is topped with one of Italy'a most recognisable monuments - the leaning tower of Pisa.



Truly, this is a Santa to bring everything good to your home, or to the home of someone you love, this Christmas.
