A note about this piece - this small Christmas piece was inspired by seven small villages, of German heritage, in Brenda's home state known as The Amana Colonies. When you pass down the streets, you quickly note that the businesses, many of which are brick structures, have simple black signs with white lettering for their business signage. In addition, this piece features the Candy Haus, the imaginary place where Santa stops off to shop for candy canes to tuck in the stockings of good boys & girls.
