Some of the cards were funny and punny.This is not how I would describe myself to anyone, ever, in my whole life. I did not seem to have any fear of not being accepted for who I am. Both of us were emotionally and intellectually honest one hundred percent of the time.As I read, I realized how quickly we knew that we were ready to commit for the long run. Some of the poems were not too bad and some were corny and amateurish. I have always considered myself as more of a story teller. I know you might be surprised to hear me say this, being that I have been blogging for 2 1/2 years. I really never thought of myself as a writer. I would like to share a few of these with you. These letters and cards also held some surprises for me. I needed their stability three years ago. They immediately reminded me that no matter what I am family. I know it sounds awful but when awful things happen the mind plays incredible tricks. The night Jim died I asked them if I would ever hear from them again. They follow my adventures and call or e-mail. They have continued to be a presence in my life. This Christmas I will be going to Jim’s family for a couple of nights. I do hope though that one day I might feel festive about the holidays and see the lights blinking again and here the Borg and Mr Spock expressing their own brand of holiday wishes. This year I did think about getting the ornaments out but then decided, once again, it wasn’t worth the effort. Often the holidays go by without too much notice. More than likely it is part of the grief process. It is not sadness or depression that makes me feel this way. Since Jim’s death I have not felt too much like celebrating Christmas. It was a tradition that suited us both and I loved it. My two favorites are the Borg Cube that says “Merry Christmas, resistance is futile” and Mr Spock saying “Shuttle craft to Enterprise, shuttle craft to Enterprise, Spock here, Happy Holidays, live long and prosper”. We hung them all from several strings over my desk in the main part of the house. Every year Jim would come home with the new ornament. Several years ago Hallmark started to make Star Trek ornaments, a new one each Christmas. We are or were, Star Trek fans from way back, before we knew each other. Here is probably a little known fact about Jim and myself. We decided it was more fun to just be with the people we loved and who loved us. It was hard as all of us grew older to know what each other wanted. It went from gifts for everyone to one Pollyanna gift to none. We did buy presents and visit family until we wearied of it. Jim and I were not ones to get too excited about the holidays. Do I have a tree? Is it real or fake? Do I buy presents or not? Do I visit family or not? Do I go to any the events around this holiday or am I one to stay home and not participate? What is this all about anyway? Within each section the lists are in reverse release order, with the latest designs at the top of the section.Traditions are strong at this time of the year. This list is split into six, collecting together the starships range, figurines, dioramas, Storytellers, other hanging decorations, and larger format releases.
The 2020 introduces a new Storytellers range, which interact with each other to tell stories, varying depending on which decorations you have. Many of the ornaments feature light or sound effects. There have also been occasional larger ornaments aside from the tree-hanging type, including table-top pieces and tree toppers. There have been a handful of other formats as well, including more traditional glass decorations, props, and even a postage stamp. And dioramas featuring multiple characters and/or sections of locations, most often recreating specific moments from episodes and movies these have been a regular feature in the range since 2004. Figurines of individual characters, sometimes with sections of a location, which have featured almost most years since 1995.
SPOCK CHRISTMAS SHUTTIE ORNAMENT SERIES
The first Star Trek design, a model of the USS Enterprise was released in 1991, and there have been new Star Trek ornaments every year ever since, with between one and six new Star Trek designs available every year.įor most of the run of the series Star Trek offerings have tended to fall into three categories: Models of ships, which have featured every year but one since the first Star Trek piece in the range. Hallmark's Keepsake range is a huge ongoing series of Christmas decorations, featuring characters and other designs from numerous properties, including Star Trek.
