Celebration of Family Love

2019 saw the 15th anniversary of the Snowtop Lodge series, and they released a couple of special ornaments to celebrate.  Family Love is one of those, but it’s a great ornament all on its own.

As fans of the series would expect, this ornament features a snowman.  He’s wearing a velvet Santa hat and a red vest, although the vest is painted on.  He’s holding a green banner with “Family” written on it.  Across his stomach is the phrase “Strung together with love.”  Below that are snowpeople holding hands.

I love the sentiment of this ornament.  It is love that holds a family together.  And, even with everything going on right now in the world, that family love (and love from friends) is such a huge encouragement.  The snowpeople aren’t quite as detailed or fun as the scenes on the official series ornaments, but that’s okay.  This one is wonderful just the way it is.

Being a snowman, this guy stands on his own thanks to his nice, flat base.  He is porcelain, so you’ll want to make sure you set him out someplace he won’t be knocked around.

Naturally, he’s also designed to be hung on your tree.  The loop is hiding in the Santa hat, or at least it is in mine.  You can barely see it.  The good news is it is still easy to get a hook through the loop.  The even better news is that the ornament hangs straight.

Obviously, this ornament caught my eye because I collect the rest of the Snowtop Lodge series.  However, you really could enjoy Family Love whether you have the rest of the series or not.

Do check out the rest of the Snowtop Lodge series.
