I have a few cherished Christmas things....mostly from my past. I will be posting them every now and then. Of course my most cherished is Addi. See the Santa she is holding? I
received him when I was five years old from my brother Dave. My brother was the oldest of six siblings. All the rest girls. I am the youngest, my brother was a senior in high school when I was born. He gave the best presents to his sisters...I loved this Santa! I hung on to him all these years. My brother has now passed, but I will always have this little guy to remind me of my brother's Christmas spirit! And now we have a new generation to hold and love this Santa. Addi is hugging on him all day long...What are a few of your favorite things? p.s. I am so excited we got five inches of snow yesterday! now that feels more like it!

( Not yet of coarse) LOL Weneed to find her a rich husband first. Doctor.lawyer, um still thinking of the possibilities..........
The Santa is almost a big as she is! What a darling-duo. It's so meaningful to have something to hold on to - the memories, the love AND the Santa. You have been blessed. Thank you for making me smile in contentment this Monday morning!

I love your well~loved Santa. He is so cute and so is Addi! Now do we get to see some photos of that snow? I wish we had some but we have the typical Dutch wind and rain. Enjoy your white to set the Christmas mood.
