Here Comes Santa Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments

Here Comes Santa Hallmark Ornaments

(1979-2003)

Here Comes Santa began in 1979 and ran as an official series through 2003. Here Comes Santa Hallmark Ornaments describes the theme clearly: Santa travels by vehicles with wheels, and the wheels on the ornaments turn. That simple rule gives the series a wonderfully inventive structure. Instead of one sleigh after another, Santa appears in cars, trains, trolleys, trucks, and other rolling holiday machines.

Early rolling Santa favorites 1979 Santa's Motor Car, Here Comes Santa #1 - RARE, 1980 Santa's Express, Here Comes Santa #2, and 1981 Rooftop Deliveries, Here Comes Santa #3 show the early motion of the series. Santa's Motor Car starts the run, Santa's Express puts him in a red-and-green locomotive, and Rooftop Deliveries adds another wheeled delivery idea. Later commemorative pieces can appear in the category, but the numbered 1979-2003 run remains the core. The series is fun because it turns transportation into the joke: Santa can get around almost any way, as long as the vehicle rolls.
