The return of the doll
Story told by Peggy Mayo-Standup
We moved so many times that eventually, I lost the Christmas doll. Fifteen years ago, I was at a scrapping workshop with a very close and devoted friend, Pauline Wiedow.
We were all sharing our favourite stories, and I told my story of the doll. I think almost everyone started to cry.
That year, at Christmastime, to my surprise, I got the most beautiful Christmas doll ever.
Pauline brought it to my house, wrapped in beautiful red shiny wrapping paper with the most beautiful green plaid ribbon.
Now I have a beautiful Christmas doll that will never leave my sight, and she stands right in front of my fireplace to this day.
