Mannheim Steamroller - The Christmas Angel: A Story on Ice This is a 1998 Christmas album by the band Mannheim Steamroller, their fifth Christmas album released. The soundtrack accompanied by the narration of Chip Davis and Olivia Newton-John reveals the story of a decorative angel that is stolen from the top of a Christmas tree by a villain called the Gargon.
The toys under the tree will not become presents until the angel is found. With the toys' help, a young mother defeats the Gargon and Christmas is saved. The story was then turned into an figure skating production starring Dorothy Hamill as the mother, Elvis Stojko as the Gargon, and Tonia Kwiatkowski as the Angel.read the rest of the Wikipedia article
This tale of good versus evil takes place in a magical land where toys come to life and evil is transformed into good. What makes The Christmas Angel especially entertaining is the combination of graceful skating by such well-known talents as Dorothy Hamill and Elvis Stojko and the emotive music of Mannheim Steamroller.
The story tells of an evil gargoyle named Gargon (Stojko) who steals the Christmas angel (Tonia Kwiatkowski) from atop a snowy village's Christmas tree, thereby preventing the arrival of Christmas. A young mother (Hamill), along with a host of toys-come-to-life, follows Gargon into the dark otherworld in an attempt to rescue the stolen angel. In the end, the angel is freed along with a host of lost souls and Christmas is saved.
We think of angels at Christmas because angels delivered the news of the birth of the Christ child.
Heavenly Christmas angel, Gabriel, was God’s messenger to Mary revealing that she was chosen to bear God’s son. Another heavenly angel told Joseph that he would marry Mary and care for the Christ child.
A small group of tiny ‘newbie’ angels, were chosen by God to watch over Joseph and Mary on their journey to Bethlehem. Perhaps because they were ‘newbie’ Christmas angels, they could find no shelter in the crowded inn, but found room in the inn’s stable.
In addition to the Christmas tree, ornaments, and lighting, Christmas Angels are a necessity in our household. I'm particularly fond of the Willow Tree line of angels. Are Christmas Angels a necessity for your holiday tradition?
Willow Tree Angel Figurines
Ah, talk about a delightful angel. This beautiful figurine sits on my bedroom dresser right in the middle in front of the mirror so that I can see its reflection.
It is the Willow Tree Happiness angel figurine.
I love how the angel has her arms spread out wide in such a friendly gesture.
The blue birds of happiness have dropped by.
My favorite Willow Tree figurine!
Angels can be found in Christmas Nativity Sets too!
The Willow Tree line of Christmas Nativity Sets by Susan Lordi is a personal favorite!
Willow Tree is an intimate, personal line of angels, figurines, ornaments and keepsake boxes representing qualities and sentiments that make us feel close to others, heal wounds, or treasure relationships to living things. The name Willow Tree symbolizes that which is gestural, beckoning and romantic.
The figures are columnar in design, like a tree, and often carry flora or fauna symbolic of human virtues or qualities. The angels are rendered so as to reveal their expressions through body gestures only a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body.
The absence of facial features contributes to the quiet and modest design. Emotions and feelings are left to the viewer to discern, which makes them very personal and powerful. Susan Lordi’s inspiration comes from a love of family, closeness to friends, and an appreciation of nature. Her art is intimate and personal, reflecting that which helps us treasure our relationship to people and the world around us.
Ah, Angels! May your Christmas be Blessed!
