2016 Byers' Choice Catalog

2016www.byerschoice.com

Handcrafted in America

It was the late 1960’s and Joyce Byers, an amateur artist with a degree in fashion design, was disappointed in what she was seeing in the stores: aluminum tinsel trees with garish blue lights. She was looking for holiday decorations with warmth that showed respect for timeless traditions and her own memories of Christmas.

The first Carolers graced the Byers’ dining room table that Christmas, and they received compliments from all of the relatives. On a tight budget, Joyce knew what to make for presents the following year. A neighbor suggested taking some to a local store, where they sold quickly. The store was part of a federation of Woman’s Exchanges and introduced the Carolers to other exchanges around the country. Soon a couple of dozen stores around the country were asking Joyce to supply them with Carolers.

Joyce pressed her husband, Bob, and their two sons into service to help produce the figures each autumn. It wasn’t long before the Carolers overwhelmed the dining room table, where the family gathered to work together. “Every year the house would be a total wreck, and I’d say that we’re never doing this again!” remembers Joyce.

But when a downturn in the economy hurt his construction business, Bob looked around and saw some potential in the Carolers. He decided to devote more of his energies to the fledgling business, and in 1978, the couple hired their first employee, and turned the garage into a workshop.

The unique appearance and handcrafted quality of the Carolers quickly gained a following. Each year, Bob & Joyce would work with their crew of trained artisans up until Christmas Eve putting the finishing touches on Carolers.

The two sons joined the company upon graduating from college and have played an important role in the growth of the firm, with Bob working in production and Jeff helping with marketing and design. “We always say that mom’s hobby has gotten a little out of control,” jokes Jeff.

Together, the family now oversees a team of 80 artisans in Pennsylvania who handcraft those same creations that started out on the dining room table many years ago. And although the Carolers are sold in thousands of fine gift stores around the world, the company still holds to its starting roots: producing a quality product, at an affordable price, and serving its customers and the community in the spirit of Christmas.

The Byers’ ChoiCe sTory

“One of my favorite parts of any Christmas celebration was singing carols, and I thought, why not design carolers to use as Christmas decorations?”

A Christmas Carol and Charles Dickens mean a great deal to everyone at Byers’ Choice. Scrooge’s declaration, “I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year” constantly

guides us. The message to celebrate Christmas and help others is just as important today; Dickens could not have said it better!

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast which is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. Although this feast is considered by many to be the very first Thanksgiving celebration, it was actually in keeping with a long tradition of celebrating the harvest and giving thanks for a successful bounty of crops.

Whether you are a traditionalist who prefers a snowman with a plaid scarf and a stovepipe hat or enjoy a more contemporary look with a Santa hat or bright accessories, there is surely the perfect snowman for everyone. The snowmen come in two different sizes and can be displayed all winter long.

Holly, ivy, pine and mistletoe have been used in Europe since pre-Christian times. People decorated their homes with these evergreens to chase off evil spirits and to remind them

The Belsnickel character originated in the Rhineland. When people immigrated to Pennsylvania, they brought their German traditions with them. Amongst the Pennsylvania Germans, Belsnickel is the character who visits homes prior to Christmas to check up on the behavior of the children. He often creates fright because he always knows exactly which of the children misbehaved. Although he may seem like a harsh character, the tradition of Belsnickel is an amusing one and rather benign.

37Phone: 215-822-6700 Fax: 215-822-3847

The familiar storyline is that children who misbehaved would get a piece of coal from Santa instead of a treat in their stockings.

The Lump of Coal tradition started several hundred years ago and is alive and well in Pennsylvania, where we believe that there are many different uses for Santa’s naughty piece of nature. Coal can cajole, inspire, remind us and is even good for a few laughs.

Introducing our wind up Clockwork Nodder Santa. Clockwork figures first appeared in the late 1800s and were used for home entertainment and store displays before electric power was available. Our American- made Santa stands about 28” tall and is made of a variety of materials including wood, pressed cardboard, goat’s fur, velvet and paper mache. This piece was inspired by early merchant window displays and utilizes the same key wound, brass, clockwork mechanism which keeps this Santa’s head nodding for several hours making a very pleasing tick tock sound.

OUR PRODUCT— HANDCRAFTED IN U.S.A.Due to the handmade nature of the Carolers® and Kindles, items may vary slightly in color and design from product pictured.

Approximate Measurements: Adult Caroler: 13” tall Child Caroler: 10” tall Toddler (standing): 6” Tall Kindle: 7” tall

Visit UsByers’ Choice has been handcrafting the Carolers® Figurines for over 35 years.

In our Bucks County, Pa workshop, we continue the tradition of making each Caroler by hand ... the same way that Joyce began on her kitchen table so many years ago.

If you’d like a peek behind the scenes, our Byers’ Choice Christmas Museum offers an afternoon of fun and Christmas spirit for both the young and young at heart!

Our Christmas Museum and Gift Shop are open year-round. Start with a walk down a cobblestone street scene straight out of Dickens’ London then into the Christmas Museum, with displays of Carolers past and present, as well as depictions of Christmas traditions from around the world. Of special note is the observation deck from which you can watch Byers’ Choice artisans bring the Carolers to life (weekdays). Be sure also to view the Crèche Room, a collection of over 200 nativity scenes from around the world. Finally stop in at the Gift Shop, where we stock a wide variety of Carolers and other gifts. Free Admission.
