Jen Matthews Hallmark

For me, it would have to be:
Pals at the Pole
Frosty Friends
Lighthouse Greetings
Candlelight Services
Spaghetti Supper (Lady & the Tramp)

This is all subject to change once I see them in person though but based on first impressions online, these immediately made my must-have list.

Toymaker Santa #4
Fieldstone Church #6
The Amazing Little Tree (order plenty of these)
Christmas Tree Dreams
Away to the Manger (not sure this one would be a big seller, but I always have to have something more "faith" based as a top five - I guess the Fieldstone Church would do that...)

Hi Jen. This is really difficult. Hope you don't mind, have to divide into two categories.

Regular Keepsakes:
1st Pop! Goes the Snowman
2nd Sweet Tooth Treats
16th MA - Sweet William
The Decision (love Nina Aube)
Snowman Surprise

Miniature Keepsakes:
1st Charming Hearts
Here Comes Santa - 3pc
Ring-a-ling Pals - 3 pc
Winter Fun With Snoopy (clip-on)
Puppies on the Doorstep

I really love snowmen and am afraid when I see photos of Snowman's Land will want those too.

Jen can you give us a final count of how we voted? Would be fun.

Based solely on those with pictures up, and if all of them look as good as they do in the pictures, so far, my top five orns in each category are:

Regular Size
1-Frosty Friends
2-Fieldstone Church
3-Pals at the Pole
4-Amazing Little Tree - Peanuts
5-Holiday Advice Booth

Mini Size
1-Afternoon Tea
2-Charming Hearts
3-Kitty Catch
4-Clever Cardinal
5-The Christmas Pageant

In a separate category, I really like the Kitchen Angels Spoon Tree, but not the Kitchen Angels orns. I think the tree will sell very well.

Its been said before, but it really is hard to pick just five. Here goes�

Charlie Browns Amazing Little Tree
Lucy�s Holiday Advice booth ( I picked these because there are tons of Peanuts fans around, myself included)
Rockin� and Rollin�, (because it is a Hallmark Exclusive and because it's really neat with all the different features)
Lighthouse greetings (always popular)
Candlelight services (because this years Fieldstone church is gorgeous)

nope, no way, i'm lucky if i can pick my top ten. i didn't feel this way about this past year's ornaments!

My favorites so far are:
The Church Choir
Sweet William
What Child Is This
A Pony For Christmas
and
Antique Tractor

Mine are:

Winter Wonderland #2
Pop Goes the Snowman
Ill Be Home For Christmas
Toy Maker Santa #4
Field Stone Church

Hey Mark, I don't see any "Pokey Little Marilyn" listed in the DB!!!! Wow, DB must be different than mine! lol

Well I was going to do this, but there are too many I'm curious about that are not being shown yet!

This is too hard to do without the dreambook right in front of me!!! Takes too long to page through the Hallmark website, as I have to flip back and forth to determine my favorites

TOP five:

(this is subject to change when I see them in person!! )

1. Sweet Tooth Treats
2. Family - Penguins (LOVE THEM)
3. What Child is This (VERY cute)
4. Noah's Ark
5. Toymaker Santa

I am also interested in seeing Kermit & Miss Piggy...
The Disney is good this year too!!
