Celebrate the wonder of Christmas Eve with this beautifully detailed 2004 Hallmark Keepsake “Plotting the Course” Christmas ornament, a special Keepsake Ornament Club Exclusive designed by Hallmark artist Tracy Larsen.
This collectible ornament features Santa Claus seated in an elaborate, old-fashioned sleigh as he prepares for his Christmas Eve journey. Dressed in his festive red suit and embroidered-style hat, Santa peers through a blue-and-gold telescope while holding a miniature compass, with a rolled map resting in front of him.
The sleigh features ornate gold scrollwork, deep green and burgundy panels, sparkling red and turquoise jewel-like accents, and gracefully curled runners. Small gold bells and lantern details complete the luxurious design.
Behind Santa is a large brown gift sack overflowing with miniature presents, a teddy bear, and a colorful toy ball, capturing the excitement of Christmas deliveries around the world.
The rich colors, sculpted details, and whimsical holiday storytelling make this vintage Hallmark ornament a beautiful addition to any Christmas collection.
Note: The original box has visible surface scuffs and corner wear.
