A unique and officially licensed Thomas Kinkade Christmas candlelit masterpiece tabletop tree with Thomas Kinkade art, exclusive to The Bradford ExchangeIn the 16th century, holiday revelers in Europe began the tradition of cutting down fir trees and bringing them indoors to decorate as part of their annual Christmas celebrations. In the absence of electricity which provides so much festive light to our Christmas trees of modern times, people relied on candles to illuminate their trees, viewing the flickering light as a representation of bright stars shining in the wintry sky.Today, that centuries-old tradition comes back into the light, thanks to an all-new tabletop tree from Thomas Kinkade and The Bradford Exchange. Recreating the gentle shimmer of candlelight without the safety concerns of real flame, this tree is trimmed from top to bottom in a festive display of Christmas colours, symbols and light.
