Merry Christmas everyone! I’m very pleased with my Star Trek tree this year. Not every single Hallmark ornament that I have is on it. There are are a couple I rarely put on. I also don’t have room for the Mirror Mirror storytellers, or the table toppers. But the majority of ornaments are up. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas Day –Lisa Herrera on Facebook
…neither of us wanted to wake up without a tree on Christmas, so I got to work re-imagining Star Trek: The Christmas Tree as a tabletop edition. This year’s tree is highly edited, sticking to mostly non-magic character ornaments and new and/or newish ships. Only a handful of batteries in this iteration. –Our Cattywampus Cottage
In an act of heartfelt kindness, Adam’s friends, led by Michael Peters with Justin Pierce and Bill Brady, sent me a Star Trek ornament, “The Hand of Apollo”, to add to my collection. My son and I exchanged ornaments every Christmas for years, him getting Star Wars and me getting Star Trek. Two geeks! I had not brought up this tree this year……until I recieved this new ornament! Thanks, guys and Merry Christmas Thanks for all the comments, all! –Bob O’Brien on Facebook
“As you probably know from a previous post, I lost my Dad last year just after Christmas. He was a serious collector of Star Trek things. Among his extensive collection are the Hallmark Star Trek ornaments from 1991 on. I got the 2 new pieces that came out this year for the “Mirror, Mirror” set. Until yesterday none of them had never been opened. We decided that this year he would get his Star Trek tree!” –Denice Pieczynski Bourassa on Facebook (December 1, 2021)
Finally got a tree for all the Hallmark Star Trek ornaments. Mike would get one each year, a tradition that Patrick started many years ago for Mike’s birthday and we now continue for him. –Kathryn Lee Lane on Facebook
As a tribute to Michael, I have meticulously arranged all of his Hallmark Star Trek ornaments, accompanied by a lovely Waterford tree topper discovered at an antique store and Buc-ee from Denton, TX, during our Dallas trip for his birthday. I have also incorporated the Muppet Babies from McDonald’s, which I had given him as a Christmas gift in 1986 and the Rhode Island state quarter. Miss you Michael. –Nuada A. Flagon
