With picking up the backpack and Doctor Who Yard is Christmas ornaments I was still searching for a few more to pick up for the year. I thought about making a ball ornament out of Lego after seeing a few websites showing ideas for Lego themed Christmas decorations. One website lead me to see that Hallmark teamed up with Lego in the mid 90's to create some very unique ornaments.
In 1994 Hallmark created Santa's Lego sleigh. This little blue, yellow, and white sleigh looks like it was built out of Lego bricks that have been shrunk, everything is almost half the size as a normal Lego brick. The sleigh feels solid but it really looks like it was built with individual pieces. There is even a mini minifigure Santa sitting in the sleigh holding a candy cane and lantern.
In 1995 Hallmark released another Lego ornament, the Fireplace with Santa. Just like the previous year the ornament has the look and feel of being built from miniature Lego bricks. The mini minifigure of Santa is back and he is having his cookies and milk that was left by the minifigure children.
I ended up getting both ornaments and wish to discover more like these. Found several listings for each on eBay, most are reasonably priced. I think I'd the two the fireplace ornament is my favorite, it just seems more thought out.
