1983 A Child's 3rd Christmas (Ball)

The 1983 A Child’s 3rd Christmas ornament is a charming vintage Hallmark satin ball designed to celebrate a young child’s third holiday season. The ornament features a white satin finish with festive artwork of Santa Claus holding a sack of toys while filling a green stocking with candy canes and gifts. The ornament includes the sentimental message: “To celebrate a child’s third Christmas. How merry the season, how happy the day, when Santa brings Christmas surprises your way!” along with the date 1983. Released as part of Hallmark’s early family-milestone ornaments, the lightweight satin design was made with a durable “unbreakable” finish. It hangs from a metal cap with a gold cord and is often found with its original Hallmark box and packaging when sold in collectible condition. This ornament is purely decorative and requires no batteries, cords, or lighting to display.
