1982 Santa (Ball)

The 1982 Santa ornament is a classic vintage Hallmark glass ball featuring a cheerful portrait of Santa Claus. The design shows Santa smiling warmly while holding a pipe, capturing the traditional holiday imagery associated with the beloved Christmas character. The ornament also features a festive inscription inspired by “A Visit from St. Nicholas”: “His eyes, how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!” along with the date “Christmas 1982.” The round glass ball hangs from a gold cord and was produced as part of Hallmark’s early 1980s collectible ornaments. When found in collectible condition, it typically includes the original Hallmark box and packaging. The ornament is purely decorative and requires no batteries, cords, or lighting to display.
