Byers' Choice started by Joyce Byers in the early 1960's. She began by hand crafting Carolers as decorations and Christmas gifts. What started as a few small gifts for family made out of some clay, paint, scrapes of old clothes and her sons hair quickly grew into a project that took over the Byers house every December as 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.
