Hallmark, Star Wars and Holiday Traditions

Hallmark, Star Wars and Holiday Traditions #KeepSakeIt #StarWars

It’s no mystery for anyone who knows me or reads Rural Mom regularly, that I’m a major Star Wars fan.  I’m also proud to say I’ve managed to raise two fine young Jedis of my own:

Their faces light up every time we discover something new and exciting in the world of Star Wars, in the same way my imagination ignited the first time I saw the original film on the big screen.

One of the ways we share and celebrate our love of all-things Star Wars during the holidays is by incorporating our favorite movie characters, scenes and vehicles into our Christmas tree decor with Hallmark Keepsake ornaments.  We all enjoy unpacking each one and finding the perfect spot for it on our tree.

Though and interesting thing is happening as they years go by, since I’ve been collecting Star Wars Keepsake Ornaments since their initial debut in 1996, our tree is slowly being taken over by the light and dark side of the force!

Thanks to Hallmark for sending a sample ornament, we’re happy to add a new treasure to our growing collection, “The Rise of Lord Vader” Hallmark Keepsake Star Wars “Revenge of the Sith” Ornament.  He’s one of five Star Wars collectible Keepsake ornaments available this year. (You can find the others in the Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Dream Book.)

Crafted with exquisite detail, “The Rise of Lord Vader” ornament artistically portrays the pivotal scene from the film, complete with dialogue from the movie that is triggered by pressing a button on the side.

The ornaments are built to last and have the exceptional quality I’ve come to expect from Hallmark over the years.  This is very important to me because one thing I always know for certain, Star Wars Keepsake Ornaments will always bring loads of smiles and enjoyment to our holiday festivities!

    My boys love anything that has to do with Star Wars so they would love these ornaments. Your boys look great in their Jedi outfits.
