Since 1981 Mayor’s Christmas Tree Ornaments have been sold to help in raising money for the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund. From 1981 through 1986, the designs of the Mayor’s Christmas Tree commemorative ornaments came from the Hallmark ornament line and were revised in limited editions with the Mayor’s Christmas Tree inscription. Since 1987, each ornament has been an original, designed by Hallmark artists and creative staff and made from the wood of the previous year’s Mayor’s Christmas Tree. Proceeds from the purchase of these commemorative ornaments benefit the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund, a Kansas City charity since 1908, which benefits thousands of Kansas City’s less fortunate each year.
The 2019 ornament, “Here Comes Christmas!” was designed by Hallmark Keepsake Artist Tammy Haddix. Be sure to fill out a pre-order form and bring it to Crown Center Customer Service, located on the 2nd level of the Crown Center Shops!
Pre-orders will be processed at the end of November, before the ornaments go on sale to the public. The 2019 ornament will be $15.95 each (plus tax) with $9.95 shipping.
Previous year’s ornaments are still available. These one of a kind ornaments are in limited quantity, once they are gone they are gone forever. While you’re in Kansas City for the Convention, don’t miss out on an opportunity to be a part of this time-honored tradition.
Is this based on the new series? I haven’t gotten the mayor ornaments for a long time I may have to start up again.
