This Hallmark Christmas Ornament features a hand-painted figurine of Santa Claus holding a grey kitten up to his face. He's wearing his red suit and hat with green mittens. Part of HallmarkÂ’s very first collection of handcrafted ornaments, introduced this year, and included in the Tree-Trimmer Collection, it's one of the original 12 ornaments, and the 6-piece "Adorable Adornments" series. This classic piece holds a special place in Hallmark history and is a must-have for dedicated collectors. Don't forget her sweetheart,
Mrs. Claus --she'd like to get a hug from him, as well! Donna Lee, the artist who sculpted this line to appear as if they were carved from wood, worked for Hallmark from 1958 until she retired in the early 90's, and is best known for creating the beloved Keepsake series, "Nostalgic Houses and Shops."
