Hallmark "Dad" Christmas Ornament, 1996
Add to SetSummary
This Hallmark ornament depicts Dad as a videotaping Teddy Bear with coat and tie. The heavy video camera he is balancing on his shoulders was an iconic piece of technology of the era. This would have made the perfect gift for the proud Dad who insisted on capturing his child's antics and milestones on videotape, despite the weight of the camera.
