About Belsnickle Santas
A belsnickle is a thin, old-world Santa, named for Belsnickel, the fur-clad Christmas visitor of German and Pennsylvania Dutch tradition. These are new figures in the old style, and many are papier-mâché.
Heights run from 5 inches to just over 17. Colors go past the usual red: soft blue, ivory, oatmeal, and white, in velvet, fur, or glitter.
Stand them in a row of different heights at the end of a mantel, with a few bottle brush trees behind them.
What is the difference between a belsnickle and a Santa?
A belsnickle is narrower and more serious: a long robe, a stern face, and usually a hood, where a modern Santa is round and red-suited.
