That's what I'm talking about! I just wish they had also put the side porch (mud room into the kitchen) on the house too. I'm a platinum Hallmark member and I got my postcard in the mail yesterday about turning in my wishlist on May 3rd (which happens to be my birthday  ). Hallmark debuts their ornaments in July...so that's when you can go into your local Hallmark to see all of their ornaments and be able to purchase this (there are a few select ornaments that don't come out until October, November and early December) but I believe this one will be ready in July. Each Hallmark store just gets a set amount of each ornament, so if you want this, I suggest you go ahead and preorder one from your local Hallmark or online.
I always buy all of my nieces and nephews a Hallmark ornament for Christmas every year. I get my kids one to four a piece, depends on what they have out that given year and what my kids are into at that time.

Sounds strange to hear different voices saying goodnight.

OK, so I listened to the audio.  The music part is great, but the 'good night' audio is horrible!! I wish they could have digitally remastered the original and used that instead of trying to apparently recreate it with other robotic sounding voices? It's quite lacking. Am also not too big of a fan of the back of the ornament -- seems like they could have added more detail... and one more thing... what's with all the green stuff? There needs to be more dirt. Sorry to come and storm on everyone's excitement and fascination.  I'm just a bit mildly disappointed with the overall make of it.  But nonetheless, I do plan on purchasing it as it's a great Walton Collectible for us Walnuts! --- P.S. The audio 'good night' sequence that is used is taken from the end of the episode, ' The Fulfillment'. |

What a fun thing to have! Ok... the voices at the end were not authentic. The house looks great though. I know the house had a dirt driveway, but, it's a Hallmark ornament... it doesn't surprise me that the group in charge opted for green grass instead. I would have rather they finished the theme song instead of adding the "goodnights".

While it is a pretty piece, the voices would turn me off. I have several Hallmark ornaments for "A Christmas Story" - my favorite holiday film - but I have purposely not bought some that have terrible imitations of the original voices. It just doesn't work for me.
If anything, don't try to duplicate the voices - just do the music, the light, and be done.
