A glorious Santa Clause is taking a short cut to manage to delier all the present, riding on a New York City # 2 Subway car. The adorable Santa has ditched his reindeers drawn sliegh which like any other vehicle got stuck in traffic in New York City overcrowded street, and to avoid all the traffic jam, took a hint from some of the daing New York City youth and hopped atop a Subway car, to hasten his gift delivery in the super crowded streets. Dressed in traditional red clothing, shiny black boots, a flowing golden gown with the Subway map on it, holding for dear life his big brown bag bulging with presents, and a golden lamp to lit the dark Subway tunnels. The New York Subway was inagurated in 1904 and isworld famous, it is an object of love/hate in the city. One can’t move efficiently without it, but the travel itself can leave a lot to b desired. Pre pandemic ridership was 6 million riders a day, it was reduced during the pandemic and now slowly slowly climbing back to its old times.
The daPolonia glass Christmas ornaments are designed and made in Mia’s studio in Krakow Poland. Steeped in centuries old traditions of glass ornaments making, drawing on the love of art and history, the ornament continues an old tradition of uncompromising quality and artistry.
The ornaments are fully made by Mia, and 100% hand made in the old fashion way.
