Merck Family's Old World Christmas

Gold colored musical instrument, trumpet, styled Christmas ornament trimmed in red, blue or green.

Horns are an important part of an old-fashioned Christmas. According to legend, loud noises frightened evil spirits away during the cold winter solstice, so festivals with noisemaking were popular. In the 19th century, bands of horn-players paraded through streets banishing all sorrow and welcoming Christmas.
