Snoopy and Woodstock Celebrate some Rarer Winter Fun
I’m constantly amazed at the creativity Hallmark artists
show in the various series. I couldn’t
come up with the variety they do on a theme, but I love having it for my
tree. Every so often, they do hit an
idea that makes me wonder, however, and that’s the case with the 2014 entry in the Winter Fun with Snoopy series.
This winter, Snoopy and Woodstock are building an
igloo. They’ve almost finished it, since
Snoopy has only one more block of ice to place in the dome of the main
structure. I’m not sure if Woodstock is
helping or hindering, however, since he is sticking his head out of the opening
where that block goes.
This makes me wonder just how many people have built an
igloo for the fun of it. Everything else
that the series has highlighted has made sense to me, but this one has me
scratching my head a little. Maybe it’s
just because I don’t live where it snows, but I don’t see this as a usual
winter activity.
Not that I don’t like the ornament. Woodstock popping out of the igloo brings a
smile to my face. It’s fun, and fans of
the series will definitely like it. And
since this is the first time in seventeen entries I’ve reacted this way, that’s
saying something as well.
Yes, this also means you’ll find a 17 in a Christmas tree on
the base of the ornament. You’ll have to
look hard for it because this is a miniature ornament, and there isn’t much
room on the base for the marker, but it is there. That base also means there’s a flat surface, so
you can set it out to enjoy.
Of course, it was designed to hang on your tree. You’ll find that loop on the top of Snoopy’s
green hat. The ornament tips back
slightly, but that’s a minor issue because only the most observant would
notice.
Woodstock and Snoopy are obviously having fun, so maybe my
questions about this ornament just make me a grump. Frankly, it really is hard not to like the seventeenth Winter Fun with Snoopy ornament.
