I think Christmas times in South Africa have spoilt me for years to come: I rather have hot weather, sunshine, braai vleis, and lazing around the swimming pool than the North and Middle European variety.  But for what it’s worth I was happy to receive one of these little wooden figures each year as a present from my home town, and they have been part of our Christmas decorations every since.
