Favorite Toy EVER

Dec 23, 2011

I remem­ber when I was lit­tle being so excited Christ­mas eve, that falling asleep was near impos­si­ble. My brother, Richard and I would talk back and forth between our twin beds try­ing to think of what Santa would bring us. One Christ­mas when I was 5 years old I got a Sketchy Doll… she is the most amaz­ing doll ever as far as I’m con­cerned. Well, through the years she got mis­placed but I never for­got about her. Now fast for­ward to 2008… my Dad decided to do a lit­tle search­ing around, found her on eBay and pur­chased her for me. Talk about a won­der­ful sur­prise. Now she sits proudly on the top of my book­shelf in my scrap­room where I see her every sin­gle day.

Richard and me Christ­mas Eve 1970

Richard (love his cow­boy attire and foot­ball hel­met com­bi­na­tion) and Me with Sketchy Christ­mas Day 1970

And here is Sketchy, once again under my tree 37 years later… loved just as much now as in 1970.
Do you all have a favorite mem­ory of Christ­mas day?

And today’s Santa sto­ries, I had to pick two this time… they were so cute.

A  lit­tle boy around 5 years old came to visit Santa. As they got all set­tled for their photo to be taken, Santa asked the lit­tle boy what he wanted for Christmas?

Well Santa and the lit­tle boys con­ver­sa­tion went like this..

Lit­tle Boy: At that store down there (point­ing) you know the lit­tle green thing that goes around the thing, then up like this (arm point­ing to the ceiling) this lit­tle boy had the biggest smile on his face and by this time, well, so did Santa.
Santa: Oh yes I know just what you’re talk­ing about. Santa will do his best.

While wait­ing for mom to pur­chase the photo of Santa and her son… the lit­tle boys dad comes down and says, “He was ask­ing for a heli­copter.” How cute is that…

This story is about a lit­tle girl around 5 years old as well. As she got all set­tled she asked Santa for a doll. This is how their con­ver­sa­tion went… made me laugh.

Santa: Which doll would you like?
Lit­tle Girl: One with a pur­ple dress.
Santa: Okay.
Lit­tle Girl: And pur­ple shoes
Santa: Okay
Lit­tle Girl: And a pur­ple bow for her hair.
Santa: Okay, I guess pur­ple is your favorite color?
Lit­tle Girl: No pink is. 

LOL… what was Santa thinking?
