A few weeks ago I did a blog on the Hallmark Keepsake series, Puppy Love. Just to balance it out here is the series from Hallmark Ornaments for the kitten lovers, Mischievous Kittens. The series started back in 1999 and has continued every year since.

Where it all started….

First in the Mischievous Kittens Hallmark Ornament Series is Mischievous Kittens #1. This is a hard to find ornament. This 1999 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament features a very playful kitten who seems to want a goldfish as a friend.

As the years went on….

What a super Christmas toy this little kitten’s found-Before he even touches it,
it starts to roll around! Third in the Mischievous Kittens Hallmark Ornament Series, 2001 Mischievous Kittens #3 would be a great addition to your Christmas tree.

Twas the night before Christmas,and Kitty was stirring, lapping up milk and happily purring, when, what to her mischievous eyes did appear, but Santa himself who smiled through his beard. I believe that’s my milk he said with a pat, but you’re welcome to it, you have been such a good cat. #10 in the Mischievous Kittens Hallmark Keepsake Ornament series.

The 2018 Hallmark Keepsake Mischievous Kitten#20….

Mischievous Kitten #20 from the popular Mischievous Kitten series was first released in July of 2018. This has  a playful kitten sitting in a red box adorned with white snowflakes, playing and getting tangled in the lights and garland. This is a must have to the kitten lover in your life.

Are you a dog lover or a cat lover. That seems to a debate that comes up when we talk about the Hallmark Puppy Love Series and the Mischievous Kitten series. Leave us a comment with which is your favorite and why. I know Jack the Elf and I are big puppy lovers.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and comment. It is never too early to start buying your Hallmark Keepsake ornaments for you and your loved ones. Go to The Ornament Factory websites and have fun shopping! http://www.hallmarkornaments.com

I have found over the years that when to put up your Christmas tree is a big debate. Some people start decorating in early fall (like the stores do these days) and others wait until after Thanksgiving or later.

The early decorators…

I have found it interesting what people have been posting online about putting trees up already. It’s amazing to see the Christmas spirit in this group! Some of the early decorators get a head start on decorating because it takes them a long time to decorate and they have a lot to put up and out. I have several friends who have a holiday party early in December so they want to be decorated for the party so they start early.

The Wait to Decorators….

On the other hand there are people who like to wait until after a certain date or just decorate close to Christmas. It is interesting to hear why people what to decorate.

Let’s be real, there is no right or wrong answer to this great debate. It is whatever you feel is best for you. Some people would like to see the Christmas season longer and some would like it shorter. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Outside Decorating…

For outside decorating it is easier to get lights and decorations out when the weather is nicer. Just because it is up does not mean that you have to turn it on if you do not want to.

The Good News for everyone!

This good news is for everyone, the ones who want their trees up now and the ones who like to hold off. You can always order your Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments from The Ornament Factory! You can always help a friend of loved one out and order an ornament or two for them too.

I like to decorate early because I love Christmas! It is always fun to hear if other decorate early like me or not.

Back to work for now!

Last but not least are the trains. Hallmark Keepsake ornaments have had trains dating back to the 80’s. There are the traditional trains like the 1996 Lionel #1 – 700E Hudson Steam Locomotive from the Lionel Train series.

From the 2018 Hallmark Ornaments for the Lionel Train collection is 2245P Texas Special Locomotion, Lionel Trains #23.

There are even trains with some of our favorite characters on it like Thomas Train or Mickey Mouse . Something for every train lover in your life.

I can see it now, a beautiful tree…..the sparkling lights framing the delicate trains from over the years and for people of all ages. What a great way to show someone who collects trains you love them than give that a tree with trains that they can enjoy yer after year. Check out The Ornament Factory to see the train Hallmark Keepsake ornaments and more!

I would love to see what Hallmark Ornaments you have on your special Christmas tree!

Ever look into the sky and see a plane flying overhead? It is a pretty amazing site to see. Check out the planes that were made into Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments.

One of the planes from 2015 Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments is the Lockheed P-38 Lightning that would be a great addition to your Hallmark Christmas Tree.

A Christmas tree with all planes would be a great surprise for someone in your life who loves planes! You could even mix them with other modes of transportation.

There is even a plane for the Disney lover in you life! Check out this 2015 Hallmark Keep Sake Ornament, Dusty from the Disney movie Planes.

Who doesn’t have a happy memories of playing with or watching a loved one play with a toy that was a plane, train, or automobile? Hallmark Ornaments has beautiful ornaments to help us remember those moments.

I have many family members who love cars, that is where I get my love for them from. My uncle has a tree of just car ornaments that he puts up every year. My aunt looks forward to getting him new ones to add to his tree every year. This year is no different! The 2018 Hallmark Ornaments have several cars that will make any car lover happy.

An ornament that I know he will love is the 1968 Chevrolet Nova SS, Classic American Cars #28 .

Another one I know he would appreciate on his tree is 2018 1954 Mercury M-100, All-American Trucks #24 .

He does like classic trucks and has some Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments of them already. Do not forget that there are previous years Hallmark Ornaments available on the website for all of the planes, trains, and automobile ornaments you are looking for.

The elves will be busy this weekend at The Ornament Factory getting all of the orders out. I am so excited for everyone who pre-ordered the October 2018 Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments! They are beautiful!

Hope you all have a great weekend and can do something fun!

Jackson the elf here! One of my favorite toys these days are my superhero ones. For my birthday I received a superhero cap and superhero masks. Pretending to be a superhero is so much fun! My favorite one is Ironman! That is what I am going to dress up as for Halloween. My little brother, little Daniel the elf, is going to be the Hulk. I call him the mean green Hulk!

While working at The Ornament Factory, I remembered that Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments made some super hero ornaments so I had to look and see if they had my favorite one. We do have it! I was so excited to find Ironman!

This is my new favorite Hallmark Ornament and it will be a wonderful addition to one of my Christmas trees. After I found Ironman I had to look for the Hulk. I was surprised at how many years Hallmark Ornaments has made a different Hulk. I picked the one I liked the best out to add to one of my Christmas trees this year. Hulk will go right near Ironman.

 I had to show little Daniel the Hulk after I found him. He was so excited! We are going to have a lot of fun this year dressing up as these superheros for Halloween.

Speaking of Halloween, have you ordered your Hallmark Keepsake Halloween Ornaments for your tree? There is still time to order and have them in time to put them up on your Halloween tree.
