A Ballerina for Christmas

In this post, I will try to remember some of the gifts I
got for Christmas when I was a child.

I want to talk to my brothers to get their memories
of this too....will do that soon.

I remember some of the Dolls I got...but do not
remember the specific Christmases when they came,
nor who even gave them to me.

I remember the Ballerina Doll the most, be cause she was
one of my favorite toys. She was dressed in Pink, and could
be posed on her toes or flat footed. She had dark hair done
up in an Updo. I know this too, because I tried to have her
wear it down and was unpleasantly surprised to see that she
didn not have all of her hair. She was bald on the inside
of the updo. So, she always had to wear her hair in a pony
tail. It was one of the traumas of my youth!

She played a song from a popular television show theme song.
It was "I'll be Loving you, Always". Gisele McKensie used
to sing that song on "The Hit Parade".
