My Mom wanted me to send this in as it is her best Xmas memory, so here it is The year is 1931 and I want a doll for Christmas . I've been told many times by my parents that Santa could not afford a doll this year but I kept right on asking . Christmas eve arrives and one of my five older brothers was out playing cards and lo and behold Brother Don wins this doll. He came home when all were in bed and put my doll in my stocking. Can you imagine the joy of a young girl and the surprise of her parents that Christmas morning! Before next Christmas I will be 90 years of age and Buddy still sits in a place of honour in my home . He will be given to one of Brother Don's daughters , Myrtle Flynn at my end . Written by Georgina Staple Woolfrey   Submitted By: fred woolfrey
