At North Pole Santa: a throw pillow that features Santa, worked in wool needlepoint. Thousands of small diagonal stitches hold the color and the detail for decades.
The pillow that comes out of the attic box every year. Two on the sofa and one on the chair is the arrangement that always works.
Santa is worked in needlepoint at the center of a cream panel, red coat and checked breeches in red and green. A sack of toys rides over one shoulder, a small tree in his hand. A red and green plaid border frames him on all four sides. Traditional enough to sit with old ornaments and garland.

Every square inch of the canvas is covered in wool, which is why a needlepoint piece holds its color and its shape for decades. Christmas designs are produced in limited runs each year, and wool is one of the few materials that outlasts the season it was bought for. Worth buying for hosts, newlyweds, and first-Christmas households, or for your own house.
