How Could This Book Lover Resist?
If you’ve noticed, I typically get pop culture or series ornaments from Hallmark. But I do look at the rest of the line. Even though I was cutting back on ornaments this year, Deck the Shelves caught my eye, and I knew I had to get it.
As the title suggests, this is an ornament for book lovers. The ornament is framed like a Christmas tree, with the sides being painted to look like wood. Inside, we have three shelves, each filled with books that are various shades of green. There’s a star on top. And each shelf has a decoration of some sort. Two of them have ornaments, and one has a second star.
I mean, really, how could I not get this ornament? It’s cute and fun and makes me smile. I’ll confess that many of my Hallmark ornaments don’t wind up on my tree each year, but I have a feeling this one will need to be part of my permanent rotation.
I do wish the books weren’t all green. I get it, they are supposed to help represent the tree. And they are various shades of green, which makes the ornament more interesting to look at. But it does tend to blend into the tree a bit. I prefer ornaments in other colors so they stand out more. And this is coming from someone who loves green. But that’s my only complaint.
The base of the tree is nice and wide and flat, so you can set this out to display year-round if you wanted to. And when you go to hang the ornament, you’ll find that it hangs straight.
When I bought this ornament in November (I spread out my purchases), I bought the last one in my store, so I’m not the only one who likes this one. If you want to add Deck the Shelves to your collection, I suggest you do so quickly.
