Hear Me Out, Matey, As I Tell Ye About This Year’s Spotlight on Snoopy Ornament
It always amazes me when I see the themes that are picked for each year’s Spotlight on Snoopy series. I mean, this year is the twenty-sixth in the series, how many more years can it go? But we’ve got a fun one this year with Pirate Snoopy.
I’m sure it’s no surprise that Snoopy is decked out as the pirate captain. He’s got a blue pirate’s hat on his head with a scull and crossbones on it. He has an eye batch on his left eye. I’m not sure what happened to his left side, because he’s got a hook in place of his left hand, too. His right hand is holding a sword. He’s wearing a blue captain’s coat with a fancy shirt on underneath it. Woodstock is getting into the act by wearing a red kerchief on his head and a red and white striped shirt. And Woodstock is showing off part of their treasure since he is holding a gold doubloon.
Hallmark did release an ornament with Snoopy as a pirate a couple years ago as part of that year’s Halloween line. I didn’t get it since I generally don’t get the Halloween ornaments. For that one, Snoopy was dressed more as an average pirate (like Woodstock in this ornament) instead of the captain. That makes this different enough that Snoopy fans will want to get both.
Of course, nothing about this is Christmassy. You could display it at Halloween or year round if you wanted. Then again, that’s true of many of the ornaments in this series. You will be happy to find that Snoopy stands firmly on his own two feet if you want to display him that way.
Or you can hang the ornament on your tree. There’s a very slight tilt to the ornament, but if you aren’t looking carefully for it, you’ll never know it was there.
And the series marker is on the bottom of Snoopy’s boots.
If you are only interested in ornaments with a strong Christmas theme, you’ll want to pass this ornament up. But if you love Snoopy, you’ll be happy you picked up Pirate Snoopy.
