Trumpet Christmas ornament from Merck Family's Old World Christmas. Gold trumpet with blue, red or green glitter details. Made of mouth blown, hand painted glass.

Horns are an important part of an old-fashioned Christmas. According to legend, loud noises frightened evil spirits away during the cold winter solstice, so festivals with noismaking were popular. In the 19th century, bands of horn-players paraded through strees banishing all sorrow and welcoming Christmas.
