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
Some away missions and an unexpected stop into the mirror universe caused a delay setting up my #Trekmas tree this year. But you are now free to now set your phasers to merry, I have 62 Star Trek ornaments on my Trekmas tree this year! 🖖🏽 –Becky D’Anna on X
