Beginning in the 1960’s, Joyce Byers spent the lead-up to every
Christmas hand crafting Carolers as decorations and Christmas
presents. What started as a few small gifts for family made out of some
clay, paint, scraps of old clothes, and her sons’ hair quickly grew into a
project that took over the Byers’ house every December as more and
more people learned about the Carolers and wanted their own.
From there, the company has grown to a team of over 80 artisans
working to handcraft the Carolers, which are sold in gift stores across
the United States and around the world, while remaining true to the
spirit of Christmas.
