2006 A Christmas Story Hallmark ornaments

Okay, I'm trying to get the hang of posting pictures so I thought I'd try posting the 2006 Hallmark ornaments for A Christmas Story.


That worked. Let's see if I can post more than one picture at a time.




Okay here's the last one.



Okay, I'm not getting something cause the code for the image link always shows up before my typing or at the top of the post rather than after my text where I want it. Then I have to cut and paste the code to the correct location.

Oh well, this is supposed to be about Hallmark ornaments, right. Well there you have the pictures of the 2006 Hallmark ornaments that were released in November to commemorate A Christmas Story. Around here, the Mr. Parker's Prize ornament (leg lamp) seems to be the most scarce. It is my least favorite of the three ornaments, go figure.

2006 Peanuts ornament from Hallmark



Here's a picture of the Peanuts/ Snoopy snowglobe ornament that was not shown in the Hallmark Ornaments Dreambook. The name of the ornament is "Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown" and it is about 3 1/4 inches tall. This ornament was a November "surprise" introduction and came out right before the Hallmark Open House weekend.

Hallmark Ornaments of A Christmas Story

Have you seen the ornaments from A Christmas Story at your local Hallmark store? They weren't in the 2006 Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments Dreambook, so many people aren't even aware that they exist. And checking the stores around Denver, it looks like they ordered very few of these ornaments. You can see pictures of them and the rest of the 2006 Hallmark ornaments at http://www.CmasPast.com/ Oh yeah, there was a Peanuts/Snoopy snowglobe ornament that came out in November 2006 that wasn't listed in the Hallmark ornament dreambook. You can also see that one at HallmarkPlace.com
