Christmas Caroling Inside a Bell
While I collect many of Hallmark’s ornament series, there
are a few that are easily my favorites. One of those is Cookie Cutter Christmas. This series is just so incredibly
cute. And the 2014 entry is another perfect example of why.
This series features a mouse doing something Christmassy
from inside a cookie cutter. This year’s shape is a
bell. And the mouse? He’s going door to door singing
Christmas carols. He’s currently standing in front of a door with
his music in front of him singing his heart out.
This scene would be cute enough, but what makes it sweeter
is that the landscape is made out of treats. The house where he is
caroling is a gingerbread house. The bush out front is a cupcake. The
doormat is a bar of chocolate and the light pole behind him looks like the
straight part of a candy cane. The snow
he’s standing on is really frosting, and a little bit of it is leaking out of
the bottom of the bell.
All this combines to give us a very cute
scene. It would be great as it is, but I think it is even better
because it is in the bell cookie cutter shape. Or maybe I’m just in
awe because I couldn’t imagine coming up with something so detailed and great
looking that fits inside a certain shape and still looks
great. Plus, for this year, we’ve got our mouse singing while inside
a musical instrument. How perfect is that?
Because the ornament is shaped like a bell, this isn’t an
ornament you can stand to display. You’ll definitely be using the
hook on the top of the ornament, and when you do, you’ll find that it hangs
straight.
This is the third official piece in the series (there have
already been two companion pieces). As a result, you’ll find a 3 in
a Christmas three on the back side of the cutter along with the handle. This is supposed to be a cookie cutter,
remember?
The small details and the creativity make this a winning
series, and 2014's Cookie Cutter Christmas continues the
trend. You’ll definitely be glad you got this great ornament.

Your review was right on the money. This series is just darling and hits all the right notes. All those little details in such a tiny space...as the French would say...incroyable!
ReplyDeleteI just don't see how she packs it all into these ornaments, but they are amazing.
