1983 Grandson

1983 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament

QX2019

NOTE: This product code was previously used by Hallmark for the 1979 Betsey Clark white satin ball ornament, seventh in the Holiday Fun series.

This 1983 Hallmark Christmas Ornament is a cream-colored satin ball, with metal cap shaped like a crown, and clear plastic sleeve featuring a beagle puppy and white kitten. On the front, it shows the pup, wearing a blue collar and watching the kitty play with a red glass ball ornament under a Christmas tree, and the caption at the bottom reads: "A Grandson, like Christmas, brings joy to the heart." The dated panel has "CHRISTMAS 1983," and has the same puppy pulling the ribbon of a red bow on top of a peppermint-striped box under the Christmas tree. The ornament is packaged in the original "window" box, viewable from all sides, so you can see the entire bulb.

Fun Fact: Shiny ornaments like the glass ball pictured in this ornament are especially attractive to cats, as they see them like a mini mirror that moves, triggering their innate hunting instincts. They love the motion and reflection that spinning baubles create when they catch light, which prompts the cat to bat at them, stalking the dangling prey. The unpredictable swinging action of the hanging ornament mimics the movements of insects and birds, which is why swatting at Christmas tree balls satisfies a cat's urge to capture!
