I't s only about 4 days till Christmas
Another Christmas memory. When I was in first grade I was sick with the Chicken Pox at Christmas and I remember getting a paper doll with real hair on it. (Well it may have been fake hair)My Mom had put a perminent in my hair and cut my bangs straight accross. I also had glasses in the first grade. So this is sort of what I looked like with my paper doll. I know it's not the only gift I got, but it's the one I remember.
I always especially liked paperdolls. Maybe because you could store them in a small box under the bed and take them places. They were great for making up stories.

I was sick one year too when I was young. I was coming down with the flu on Christmas Eve and my throat hurt really bad. I didn't want to tell anyone ... I was afraid Christmas wouldn't happen if people knew I was sick.
I have been sick a lot of times at Christmas for some reason or another.
May we all be well this Christmas.
I used to have a couple of paper dolls too. They were always really fun to play with.
I always end up coming down with something around the holidays. I remember being really excited to go trick or treating and then I got sick with the flu the exact day of Halloween.
I was not a happy camper. ;)
I have never been sick (that I can recall)on Christmas (can you hear me knocking on wood?).
I am not sick as much now as I was as a child. Maybe I will just get healthier and healthier as I get older ;-)
