New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is a man of many identities. He's a Super Bowl champion. A Hoboken resident. A delicious Sandwich. Manning will now and forevermore be a Christmas ornament.

Hallmark released the company's 2010 Keepsake Ornaments "holiday preview" this past weekend (July 10-11). Included are figurines of New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu, Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane and Philadelphia Phillies slugger Ryan Howard. Manning and Polamalu are part of a yearly NFL Christmas ornaments series that also include Eli's brother, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning.

The Eli Manning, sports-related and other available Christmas ornaments are part of a special week-long Christmas/holiday preview from Hallmark. Up until July 18, Hallmark will be offering numerous specials and discounts on ornaments and other Christmas products. The Eli Manning ornament is the only New York Giants and New York sports Christmas ornament to be released by Hallmark in 2010.

A bit early for Christmas, you say? Christmas in July is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate the occasion with the New York Giants fan in your life than getting him/her the Eli Manning ornament? For what it's worth, Manning has two healthy feet in the ornament.
