Christmas Remembered

Sometimes it's funny the things that you remember...  


I remember how hard it was to find anything with my name on it - Mom must have had this printed for me somewhere, boy, I bet I was excited hanging that stocking on the tv, I can remember there was a button right there on the front of it that I used.  Isn't that a classic tv?


Well, here I am many years later and I still have the stocking - but it's not the one I use now.   I'm so thankful that Mom kept things like this..  I guess when you're the only child, things like that just are kept, forever!!   TV's sure have changed - no more buttons on the front.


Now my stocking is hanging on the record player.

I remember this gift, it was from my great aunt and uncle, my eyes are rolled to the ceiling because it was making music....  I used to open one gift on Christmas Eve, it might have been this one....



It was this jewellery box - I've carried it around all these years - I loved that jewellery box!!  The ballerina has lost one of her arms and look how worn the bottom of it is - it even still has two of my little bracelets in it.


This is one toy that I've thought about - Doozies - I've never heard of it or seen it again and sadly, this was something that wasn't kept.  The blocks were made of a styrofoam material, they stacked and you snapped on the parts - to make Huckleberry Hound or Yogi Bear - has anyone out there ever heard of Doozies before or seen them?
