Hallmark hallmarks

Every year brings a new crop of Hallmark Keepsake penguin ornaments. Some are a little over the top, but there are usually one or two real standouts in the bunch. The little Goody Gumdrops ornament is probably one of my top ten overall favorites. It’s an excellent example of good things coming in small packages. The goofy ones with the tall Christmas tree hat and the two-wheeled cart show a lot of originality and are high up on my list of favorites. The Disney Club Penguin ornament mystifies me. I ended up with a bag full of penguins when I bought this batch, including one that is No. 30 in its series. I must certainly have one or two others that go with it, but I’ll have to look back to see which ones.
