Christmas in July

I can hardly believe it is ornament time already. I have been working at Hallmark for 7 years. This will be my eighth Christmas with Hallmark. The infamous Dream Book has been out for a few weeks now and you can access it at Hallmark.com. There are a lot of good ones out this year. You can start a new series, I believe there might be 4 to chose from. But no Twilight ornament. I have been trying to tell Hallmark it would be a big seller, especially with New Moon coming out in November. Even without it there are some great ornaments coming out. This year they have decided to do a Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation ornament that I am sure will be a hit; it is Uncle Eddie's RV, it makes noise if you can believe it. Also this year's Gone With The Wind ornament, "Frankly My Dear," is also going to be a sure hit.

My great friends and I will be fighting the crowds on Saturday morning. Tonight we are all having a cookout at Melanie's house. We are going to Electric Boogie and play some games. 6 months out of the year we celebrate Christmas so what better occasion to get together and have some drinks than before we fight the Christmas masses? I fear that one day I will miss these days at Hallmark so I am going to try and enjoy them while I am here.

If you are near a Hallmark store this weekend, stop by and check out the 2009 Keepsake Ornaments! Some are guaranteed sellouts, get them before they're gone!
