Hallmark Star Trek Display #766

I finally assembled my Star Trek holiday wreath with vintage Hallmark light-string powered ornaments. I had done a similar one a few years ago using the Hallmark Star Wars Storyteller spaceship ornaments that had just come out at the time using the compatible power cord tied to the back of the wreath to keep them lit. I then wanted to do a similar one with powered Star Trek ornaments that would stay lit like the Hallmark Midnight Wreath on which they were to be placed. The issue was how to power those old light-string powered ornaments. Those ornaments are not compatible with LED mini lights. Wrapping a compatible 50 or 100-light incandescent string around the wreath would look terrible, and shorter incandescent strings have the wrong voltage. So, the only solution was to pay the eBay scalpers their ransom for two of the long-discontinued Hallmark Legacy Cords that each can power up to four of those old ornaments. I finally did so this year. After wrapping eight pieces of 16 ga stem wire (used for flower arranging) around the metal wreath back and poking them through to the front to make ornament hangers (like I did with the Star Wars wreath) and tying the two legacy cords to the metal back as well, I could hang the ornaments and poke their cords through to the back to plug them in. Because the Legacy Cords and their sockets are so big, this wreath doesn’t really lay flat against a wall. So, I display it with a free-standing wreath holder. One bonus with this wreath is that unlike the Star Wars wreath, these ornaments are small enough to fit in the plastic wreath storage box still mounted on the wreath. No unboxing and boxing up these ornaments each holiday season. So glad to finally have a holiday wreath of my favorite franchise. –Michael Murgolo on Facebook

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

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)
