I finally, after 12 years of collecting the darn things, got to put my Hallmark ornaments on the tree. Hooray!!!

I'm living with a dog and they're all on the upper half just to be safe.

The ornaments are cool, and those pictures could be used to illustrate their ads or packaging (or a calendar!) - nice work Spooky!

My oldest daughter got me the Ercoupe for Christmas.
It looks great!
Looks like I will be getting these each year as well!

You'll have to check ebay and get the 11 older ones. It's the Staggerwing that'll break the bank though!

Does anyone else have this revolving Hallmark tree topper? I don't think it's made anymore (I got it on eBay about a month ago). I got rid of the Santa and reindeer that were on there and hung a 1/48 scale plastic Hasagawa P-51 model from it.... :D

Here's a short video clip of it going 'round & 'round:

I found some of my Hallmark Mini airplane ornaments. I think I have all five of them but didn't find them in my first look through the extra Christmas stuff...
The others are a Spirit of St. Louis and the cool Curtis Seaplane Racer just like the big ones.
I'm on prowl for them...we've got too much Christmas stuff... :roll:

They are tiny!

SNJ-5, Bela Nothing says PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TO MAN, like a warplane with 6 large machine guns on it right there on top of the tree.
And I'm joking, mostly. Mine's got a dove on peace on top, but right under is is a U T ornament. I do have a nice Jenny on there also.
