Built in 1856 and furnished with a collection of original antiques, our house can be a challenge to appropriately decorate for Christmas. Modern day decorations and ornaments, even those that are country themed just don't seem to fit. And paying top dollar for antique decorations that will only be displayed a few weeks a year just doesn't make sense. Well, chalk up a home run for the Ragon House Collection.
With an offering of more than a hundred country and primitive Christmas and holiday decorations and ornaments, the Ragon House Collection is ideal for situations such as this. They fit perfectly into a wide range of decor and have the look and feel of authentic antiques - at a fraction of the price. So if you find yourself in the same boat as us, check out the photos below for a little inspiration. You can find pretty much everything pictured below by going to the Christmas section of our online catalog.

Whether displayed on their own, or as part of a train village, vintage style Putz Houses are sure to carry you back to the 20's and 30's. With a history that started in Japan and then took the world by storm, our lighted Putz Houses make great conversation pieces. Putz House ornaments are also available for your tree. |
|
| Our Pull Toy Horses and our Paul Jamieson Folk Art Prints look great any time of year. Reminiscent of the old hobby horse from The Velveteen Rabbit, our Pull Toy Horses are available in three sizes, including an ornament. The Paul Jamieson Framed Prints are printed on canvas and are available in three sizes and several different designs. |

One of my dear friends used to make redware, and my favorites were his holiday plates. Ragon House also offers a variety of decorated redware plates, and my personal favorites are still the Christmas variety. Together with reproduction Punched Tin Lanterns and Goosefeather Trees, they're enough to put me in the old-fashioned Christmas spirit on site. |
|
| Our themed Belsnickle Santas are a unique addition to any Christmas display. Flag Santa shows his patriotism with his American flag and decorated drum. Basket Santa carries a basket full of apples. And Box Santa comes bearing gifts of stacked boxes and a miniature tree. Each style is available in four different sizes and a variety of colors. |

To us, Christmas just isn't Christmas without a live tree. Fortunately, though, there's no rule that says you can only have one tree. These authentic goosefeather trees are a great way to spread the Christmas spirit into other rooms throughout the house. Available in four sizes, from 8 inches to 6 feet, these trees feature a handpainted base and are available in green or white. Also shown here is our handpainted wooden sleigh.
