Santa needs a clean house! Don't want him walking in the "ouch" room as Brynn calls it! Too many things on the ground, if you go in bare-foot, your doomed to say "ouch!"
Thought I'd post one of my most memorable Christmas' - I don't have much of a memory, though - so I only have a few Christmas' that stick out in my mind - until someone reminds me of another. So -- from my own memory, we were living in Denton, TX. I was - oh - 5? We were on Knight Street. A year or so before, I got a Crissy doll. This was a red headed doll - probably 18" - 24" doll - if you pulled a string on her back, her hair would get shorter. Then you could grab the hair & pull it back out to make it long. Well, if you can imagine, that plastic barbie-esque hair gets tangled quickly if you play with it. So I had the doll taken from me for not taking care of the hair...
That Christmas of 1976? - I don't remember if I asked for anything in particular - but I got my Crissy doll back! Through Santa magic - her hair was all tangle free (at least for the following - oh - week?) and I was so excited. Nope, it wasn't a new gift. But it was one that I'll always remember. Maybe I got something else new, but Crissy stuck out to me.
I'm not sure why the "humble" Christmas' come to my memory first. Part of me is sad that my children haven't experienced it. I don't think it's necessary - and I don't think I have the "strength" to give them a simple re-gifted Christmas.
Share your most memorable childhood Christmas.

Oh, that is so sad about getting the Crissy doll again the next year for Christmas! Breaks my heart for you!
And yeah, the humble Christmas's are the most memorable for me. Like the year we had $5 each to shope for the entire family. We bought little "junky" things for everyone because $5 didn't go too far, especially for a large family!
Found you surfing some Blogs. I have never heard of anyone else who had Crissy!! I also had the blonde one called Dinah/Dina. I cut her hair giving her a stunning mullet and was very upset to find out it wasn't going to grow back. Im enjoying wandering around your blog. Happy New Year.
