I want to share My Christmas Bear. This is the perfect time and place. My Christmas Bear was given to me when I was six months old (December 24, 1941). My mom and dad bought this bear for me on my First Christmas. Teddy is 15" tall and well worn. Under his arms and between his legs where the light has not reached is the original most beautiful cinnamon color. Teddy's arms and legs move, but his head does not. When Teddy was 35 years old, I had his nose, eyes and the pads on his paws redone.
Thanks
Betty

ReplyDeleteHi Betty,
ReplyDeleteHe's adorable! I love it when someone keeps their first bear; it shows they are very sentimental. He's been well loved! Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.
