Santa never wrapped our toys he left them under the lit tree and when I made my way into the family room and caught a glimpse of my Ballerina doll I gasped! I almost started crying due to the mixed emotions of seeing her and thinking how much Santa must love me to bring her to me.
I am 48 now and seeing her brings back all those excited emotions. I love seeing toys that make take me back to my childhood
Oh, thanks for posting this picture! I had one of these dolls when I was a little girl, and I just loved her.
I still remember the christmas i got this doll. I was so excited i knocked down the christmas tree. Fast forward 40 plus years i just cleanned her up and gave her to my daughter who loves her as much as i did. And she still works!
