HALLMARK CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS

This is just a sampling of the many ornaments I have collected over the years. My earliest ornament is a satin ball that I bought for my oldest daughter's first Christmas in 1980. I added only about one a year until I really got caught up in it in 1992. Since then I have been adding ornaments at he rate of about 20 a season. That is not many compared to how many other collectors add.
I have a series going for myself, my husband, each of my children, my son-in-law, and my grandson. This year I will start a new series for my new granddaughter. In addition, I usually buy what I call a 'special' ornament. It is one of the more expensive lighted or motion ornaments. Then to top it off I buy anything else that I consider to be relevant to the family or the moment, and anything I take a liking to. They know me by name at my favorite Hallmark store, and know I will be there for the premeire and any other promotion. I also collect the Hallmark Kiddie Kars.

This is the new Natures Wonderland series. I am starting my 14 year old on this series this year.

This is one that caught my eye and is sure to be popular this year. The lunchbox really opens.

This is the fourth in the Kiddie Kar Klassic's series. It is the series I get for myself.

Frosty Friends has been around for it's 12th season this year. They are adorable and highly collectible.
