On the Second Day of Christmas Ancient Arts had for me:
Ghost of Christmas Past
"[A]s its belt sparkled and glittered, now in one part and now in another, and what was light one instant, at another time was dark, so the figure itself fluctuated in its distinctness: being now a thing with one arm, now with one leg, now with twenty legs, now a pair of legs without a head, now a head without a body; of which dissolving parts, no outline would be visible in the dense gloom wherein they melted away. And in the very wonder of this, it would be itself again, distinct and clear as ever." -A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
The Ghost of Christmas Past is a character from Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol. The Ghost is one of three spirits that appear to miser Ebenezer Scrooge to offer him a chance of redemption. This ghost takes Scrooge back through past Christmases to illuminate how he has gone from a bright young man to a dark old man, and from the top of its head shines a bright light that illuminates Scrooge's memories.
Our colourway goes from light to dark much like the Ghost of Christmas Past, but in a gentler and much more enjoyable form. This colourway will create swirls of colour in your stitching and bring you seasonal joy!
