Hallmark Cards & North Pole Countdown Ornament

When I was first married I promised myself that I would purchase at least one collectable ornament a year to add to our Christmas tree. Each year I would stop by Hallmark, walk up and down the Christmas ornament aisle and choose one. I had ornaments for Baby’s First Christmas, one for each child, an our first Christmas ornament and more. Then, along came the Possum Who Ruined Christmas. After gnawing a hole through our storage building, she someone managed to open my plastic storage container with my ornaments and happily settle down to raise a family. All my ornaments were destroyed and I had to begin my collection again. It was back to Hallmark, this time to start over!

This year I am adding this cute North Pole Countdown ornament to our tree. It’s designed to look like an antique radio and has a dial that can be turned each day to countdown toward Christmas beginning on December 1st. We have an advent calendar that the kids fought over each year in an unpleasant, not very Christmas like manner. This December everyone in the family will have an ornament or a calendar to change the dates.

Aren’t these cards pretty? I like the intricate detail that says “I think you are someone special.”

Hallmark has a lovely collection of humorous, sweet or traditional cards. I can find one that is a perfect fit for everyone on the list.
