This was one of my favorite books when I was a little girl. I would read it to my own sweet dolly and then secretly prepare for her Christmas. I would wash and press her very best dress, brush and style her hair and hang her tiny stocking. I would then set my heart to making her gifts; knit hair ribbons, sew lace to tiny doll socks, and hand illustrate a little "book"... She was such a good dolly, and always so happy with her Christmas.
Sometimes I wish I could be that little girl again. The sweet, simple delights of being a child. I wish I had known then that I would long for those days. I wish I hadn't been in such a hurry to grow up. I hope that I have finally learned to live fully in today and savor each moment. And, I hope someday to have a sweet granddaughter to share my love of dolls and books and fancy dresses and handcrafts and hair ribbons.... someday!
What do you remember of childhood holidays?
