I had Bun Bun, a rabbit, missing an ear, stuffed with straw! Yes, that is how old I am!
I cremated my dad with his straw animal. A bear, I think. I can't remember.
But my favourite gift was a wonderful doll my Nanny gave me. She was an amazing woman, a real Christian, ahead of her time. She'd wrap presents so that there was nary an edge untaped. It made unwrapping presents tricky!

that's a fine mixture of old and new. I don't have Christmas photos of the distant past. We never took any. I have photos of my kids and Christmas.
All the years I was growing up I dreamed that there would be a horse on the lawn, even though I grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Our house wasn't far from the LA river with stables, so the dream wasn't too far fetched. It never happened, but after I married Wayne we lived near a park with a stable. He heard my horse stories for years. One Christmas morning we walked to breakfast near the park and he stopped behind the stable and asked if I would like a horse like the one in the pen. It was a beautiful horse. He said, let's go inside to look. That was very strange. When we got there, he surprised me with my Christmas present. A horse of my own. I guess the moral is, never give up on your dreams. I got a dream husband and a dream horse, all in one. - Margy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER!!!
Yes my old straw bear was a favourite gift and stayed with me until I left OZ in 2011... he had died his own death, couldn't take any more surgery; still missed! Hope your weekend continues to add to this wonderful memory pool for you. Hugs, YAM xx
