Peanut Christmas ornament by Merck Family's Old World Christmas, made of mouth blown, hand painted glass, light golden color, new ornament for 2008.

Peanuts symbolize mystery since their shells completely hide their contents. Called "treasures beneath the ground," nuts are also associated with wisdom because their contents are compact, sustaining, and enclosed within a single shell. Long ago peanuts were wrapped in gold or silver foil and used as Christmas tree ornaments.
