1926 Murray Steelcraft Speedster

1926 MURRAY STEELCRAFT SPEEDSTER
Kiddie Car Classics

The 1920s marked the beginning of America’s love affair with the automobile and the start of the golden age of pedal cars as well. What youngster wouldn’t love tooling along the sidewalk in this 1926 Murray Steelcraft Speedster? Or making a dash for the finish line with shiny grille and speeding wheels flashing in the sun?

This series of Keepsake Ornaments celebrates the combination of craftsmanship and imagination that still gives pedal car enthusiasts that
“wind in their hair” feeling today.

Sneaking a Treat

Playful Pluto seeks to sneak
a tasty Christmas sample.
No need to swipe the whole big tray—
one cookie should be ample.
Pluto thinks his fun hijinks
are cleverly delicious—
That is, till Mickey catches him
and makes him wash the dishes!

Norway

In Norway, many people think of Christmas as a feast of lights—a time to bring light to the darkness and warmth to the winter. Church concerts and St. Lucia celebrations fill the days until Christmas Eve, when families enjoy feasting, singing carols around the tree, and waiting for either Nisse (the Christmas gnome) or Santa Claus to deliver gifts.

This Santa holds a traditional holiday straw decoration in the shape of a Julebukk, a Christmas goat. The legend behind this symbol evolved into a children’s Christmas custom similar to trick-or-treating known as going Julebukk.

Santa’s knitted robe is a modern example of an ancient art form. Based on centuries-old techniques, the craftsmanship and distinctive design of contemporary Norwegian knitwear is a source of national pride.
