This is the illuminated snowglobe inspired by the holiday artwork of Thomas Kinkade that features the artist himself narrating 'Twas The Night Before Christmas. The snowglobe's base is a cast resin storyhouse that swings open to reveal a meticulously detailed Victorian Christmas scene. With a brightly decorated Christmas tree, a crackling fire, and a Kinkade holiday painting hanging above the stocking-laden mantle, father in his nightcap peers out the window "to see what was the matter". (Contrary to the verse, there's even a mouse stirring beneath Santa's cookies.) A flip of a switch casts a warm, gentle glow upon the hand painted scene and sends festive flakes dancing throughout the glass snowglobe of Santa and his reindeer as Thomas Kinkade himself reads the beloved holiday poem. The three-way switch creates different combinations of snow, light, and narration. Powered by the included AC adapter or three AA batteries (not included). Hand-numbered with certificate of authenticity. 9" L x 6 1/2" W x 6 1/4" D. (6 1/2 lbs.)
