Hallmark "Bright Christmas Dreams" Christmas Ornament, 1987
01
Artifact Overview
Already known for greeting cards, Hallmark introduced a line of Christmas ornaments in 1973. The company's annual release of an increasing array of ornaments appealed to customers' interest in marking memories and milestones as well as expressing one's personality and unique tastes. This was the first ornament--in a series still being produced--depicting Crayola crayons. Hallmark acquired Crayola in 1984.
