Kringle Express - why?

just wonder — Sun, 25 Jul 2021 23:54:43 GMT

They are now showing an elaborate swan with flameless mercury glass candle for CIJ, along the lines of last years beautiful reindeer with ombre flameless candle. Why, I have to ask, Kringle Express why did you choose a swan instead of another Christmas icon for this decoration? I LOVE my reindeer from last year on my dining room table, but a swan is not Christmas??? An elaborate snowman with frosty ombre candle would have been lovely, but a swan???

@just wonder Seven swans a-swimming? I've seen Valerie present swans for the winter season as well.

Many people have quite a few snowmen. Maybe the swan is an alternative.

Thought your question was interesting so Goggled it, I also had no idea what 7 swans a swimming in the song represented. If you're interested take a look too @just wonder.

I think the swan looks beautiful and elegant and, if you chose the champagne, you could use it for more than just Christmas.

I have too much "stuff" now, but otherwise I'd be interested.

Jane said that, as a former dancer, and with two daughters as dancers, she loves the swans. She also said you should consider buying two because together they make the shape of a heart.

But, honestly, it's hard to imagine a swan swimming around with a pillar candle - lit - on its back.

@Susan Louise

Now your swan collection is "elegant" not cheap looking resin IMO as the Kringle Express one.

@Susan Louise

I thought so but didn't want to guess😉and seriously, I'm not impressed with her things any longer as the quality is missing. I bought this set of trees ...H224686 very disappointed, very sparse not as shown. Definitely going back☹️☹️

QVC is getting the fact that many people are over stocked and just 'over' so many "Christmas" decorations and are looking for things that can represent the holiday season, but be used all year long as well (things like lanterns, candles etc.).

So I'm sure it is one of those 'alternative' things that they are offering to attract people who already have way too many Christmas decor pieces but see the value in something that is usable in every season.
