Santa’s Working on His Abs
Over the years, Santa’s gained an image as a jolly,
over-weight man. However, he’s trying to
change that image. Yes, he still intends
to be jolly, but he’s going to lose some weight. And that change is documented in Hallmark’s
Core Crunchin’ Kringle ornament.
This ornament catches Santa as he is working on his
abs. No, he’s not content to just do sit
ups. He’s doing them on his equivalent
of an exercise ball. What do I mean by
that? He’s using a green ball Christmas
tree ornament. We’ve caught him as he is
fully reclined with his feet touching the floor, and his hands are behind his
head. He’s got on gray sweatpants, and
his red shirt isn’t quite large enough to cover his belly. Obviously, he’s still got quite a bit of work
to do.
This was the ornament that almost got away. I really liked it in the stores, but I kept
telling myself I didn’t need it. When I
changed my mind a couple of months ago, fortunately, I found it in a store that
was still trying to get rid of their old ornaments.
I love it because I love the creativity it shows. Obviously, people using exercise balls is
nothing new, but the fact that they worked a Christmas decoration into this
ornament is wonderful. And who knows,
maybe I will get some inspiration from Santa.
If he can start working out, maybe I can do a better job, too. Although for me it’s more that I need to
watch what I eat.
You might think that this ornament wouldn’t stand up on its
own because Santa is on a ball, but thanks to the magic of Hallmark, the base
of the ball is flat. Between that and
Santa’s feet, the ornament is plenty stable to set out. The loop to hang the ornament on your tree is
actually attached to Santa’s belly. Yes,
it hurts a little, but it is a good location since the ornament hangs straight.
It’s that kind of creativity and fun that makes me love
Hallmark ornaments so much. I’m glad I
tracked down Core Crunchin’ Kringle.
