2009 Ireland (Doorways Around the World)

This ornament features the front door of a traditional Irish home, capturing a wreath-adorned two-piece door set into cobblestone surroundings, with a shamrock motif above the doorway. On the interior scene, a decorated Christmas tree topped with a Celtic cross, a large candle in the window, and a table set with Irish bread (with raisins and caraway seeds) create a richly detailed holiday vignette. Designed by artist Linda Sickman, this piece is the third in the “Doorways Around the World” series from Hallmark and was issued in 2009. The depiction blends cultural heritage and festive cheer, making it a meaningful addition for collectors of travel-themed or culturally inspired ornaments.
