It does seem a little early, doesn't it, to be thinking about next Christmas? But before you know it, Thanksgiving will be here and everyone will be in a holiday spirit. But you won't have to worry for Madame Alexander has you covered with the new 2004 holiday line.

Angels will sing on high for collectors next year staring with the Celtic inspired Follow Your Dreams Angel, whose lovely gown and wings of ivory linen are embroidered with gold. The curly red head of this little 8' is crowned with a wreath of flowers. Blue Skies Angel an adorable 8', whose hair is held back by a blue headband of flowers, has a matching blue bodice and a two-layer skirt caught up with ribbon and flowers. She'll look adorable with your Christmas display. The third angel Madame Alexander has created is the magnificent Count Your Blessings Angel. This glorious 10" angel with wings of quilted moonlight satin and gold trim, a beautiful ivory gown, and blonde, upswept curls that have flowers nestled in them will inspire you to Count Your Blessings that Madame Alexander is a part of your holiday tradition.

You'll feel twice blessed when you see the Tree Toppers for 2004. The beautiful Golden Christmas Angel is a vision of white and gold. With her elegantly shaped white wings that have been decorated with gold braid, this lovely 10" has full, bell sleeves, a bodice latticed with gold and a magnificent gold crown on her brunette head. She is a wonderful counterpoint to her sister angel, the Bless the Night Treetop per. This lovely, red velvet angel will radiate the joy of the season from the top of your tree. Dressed in an ivory gown embellished with gold and pearls, her red robe richly accents her ensemble all the way to the top of her golden crown.

An angel announced the birth of the baby Jesus, who was born in a manger. Madame Alexander has re-created that scene with the new Nativity Set. Included in the set are 8" Mary and Joseph, two plush lambs, a plush donkey and a star lit manager where the baby lies sleeping.

Those who have been collecting the Lenox® and Spode® ornament dolls will be especially pleased with the 2004 collection. The Lenox doll is a new, classic, 8" Wendy with blond braids and blue eyes. Dressed in an ivory and gold dress with an embroidered bear apron, she brings a Lenox bear ornament to hang on your tree. The new, classic Wendy with the brown bob and blue eyes is ready to go to her grandmothers for Christmas Tea with Ornament. Dressed for the occasion in an ivory silk dress embroidered with a bow and holly and, a charming red velveteen coat that is also embroidered with holly, she brings her Grandmother a gift, a wonderful ornament in the shape of a teapot.

Ornaments, angels and Tree Toppers! What more could there possibly be? Well, there are four more wonderful designs to enchant you from the elves at the Alexander workshop. Santa's World is an Alexander 8" boy, dressed to thrill in his Santa outfit. His plush reindeer will bring Santa and his elf helper to your house. Of course, he'll arrive carrying a sack of miniature toys. And when he does, three little ladies will be waiting to greet him:
Christmas Stocking an 8" with long brunette braids and blue eyes is dressed in a festive plaid dress that is trimmed with burgundy velvet. Her gift to you will be a burgundy stocking that is trimmed with green plaid and pearls and is filled to the brim with toys for good little girls, or boys.
A new, classic Wendy with red braids and green eyes wears a red taffeta dress with a white felt apron on top. Her apron is embroidered with red Christmas Cardinals and holly, along with other details in red, green and white and which makes for a very pretty holiday sight.
Mistletoe and Holly wears a gorgeous gown of silk jacquard trimmed with red, green and gold plaid and, just a touch of white faux fox. Perched prettily on a cluster of brown curls that accentuate Cissette's green eyes, is a headband style hat that is green plaid on top, also trimmed with white "fur" and finished with a red bow. A white net petticoat, pantyhose and red pumps are the completing accessories for Mistletoe and Holly.

You still have the opportunity to find the Twelve Days of Christmas, My First Christmas Tree with Spode Ornament, Sledding Wendy, Sleigh Riding Wendy, Waiting for Santa Boy and Girl, Christmas Ballerina, Deck the Halls, and the Twelve Days of Christmas Set under your tree.
