More Christmas Memories
~ Here are a few more of my childhood memories of Christmas.~
( These were published on my Memories of Mom site )
Wow, those old Christmas memories - ones when I was small, then ones when my girls were small and now the small 'grand ones'. What a blessing to see Christmas afresh through their eyes! ec
I loved this....I remember a lot of my dolls and just wish I still had some of them! in the 1982 picture, that tall doll you have in front of you, looks just like one I had when I was 4 years old:-) I used to call her Susie!
I don't have any of my own dolls- tho that little one in the 'Old Fashioned' pic looks like the little Betsy-Wetsy dolls my little sister and I got that ' Christmas Eve.' I wish I had kept my dolls. lol- but guess they couldn't have survived all these years anyway.
I DO have a lot of the dolls that belonged to my 2 daughters! (After Christmas I plan to organize my doll collection and do some posts on them!)
I just got into doll collecting in my middle years-although I have always loved dolls!
The one in the picture (child size doll) is one I bought at an antique shop. She was new to me that Christmas! :) I'll have to research her and write more about her later.
The little boy doll , of course is new. It's Elvis Presley. I did an early post on this doll-and my husband. (they looked a lot alike:) ) That was a B'day gift from Tina, my youngest daughter, lasy year.
I bought that doll 20 + years ago at an antique shop...not sure what she is. I should remember but I don't, as she's not out where I see her everyday. I have sort of gotten away from collecting the past few years.
~~ I wrote out my memories as a way to help myself through the grief after Mom passed away almost 4 years ago.~~ And it helped me>
