Christmas comes early every July! That’s when the Hallmark<\/em> stores release their first wave of Keepsake Ornaments<\/a>. July 16-17 was this year’s debut. I typically collect only Disney ornaments, and this year, I have my eye on three. Over the weekend, I picked up the Clock Cleaners ornament, which features movement, light, and sound. Both C.L.U.’s light cycle and the Nautilus are on my radar as future purchases.<\/p>\n

Disney ornaments can be found everywhere and just about in every store, but they don’t compare to Hallmark’s quality. Yes, they’re a tad expensive, but the workmanship can’t be beat, and they last for many years. I personally only collect what I know I will enjoy (usually 1-3 ornaments per year), and the collection does build up over the years.<\/p>\n
