All Aboard the Candyville Express

Another of my favorite ornaments is from Hallmark, early 1980's.
It's called the Candyville Express.

Remembering back to those days, as a young child I always felt giddy with this ornament. It looked like candy, and the sparkles on it were somehow magical.


I even remember licking this ornament once just to see if it tasted good.... notice I said "just once."  Behind it in the picture is the famed candy garland... I LOVE the candy garland.

Here is the much deserved close-up.

How on earth mother allowed me to have the candy garland is beyond me. She should have kept it for their tree, but I'm not complaining! This has ALWAYS been on my Christmas tree, growing up until now. I can't fathom a tree without it.
