A
Very “Beary” Christmas to All!
Those of
you who are of a certain age have probably noticed that over the years you’ve accumulated
a lot of stuff…some just stuff and some fun stuff.
Well…this
Christmas we decided to ‘free’ Laurie’s collection of bears. They’ve been locked up way too long and we
knew that they’d be more than happy to help us celebrate the Holidays. This chair was crowded with bears.
The
dining room table was overrun with bears!
The couch
was overwhelmed with a plethora of bears…
The window
bench was buried in bears…with no room for people!
So now that her bears were freed, we couldn't just leave them where they first landed. We had to find homes for them around our house...

So some
of them moved over to live by the Christmas tree.
Others
took up residence on the stairs…
A group
of smaller bears climbed up onto my mother’s old Eastlake desk.
Some even
found their way to the top of the china cabinet.
The
smallest bears found safety and security on the fireplace mantle while others
found a home on the hearth…
…and
finally there was peace and joy in our home!
The tree was lit and the mood was merry.
A very “beary” Christmas had arrived…
Wishing
everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year!
Laurie and David (Big Daddy Dave)
Teddy bear heaven for sure
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing collection Dave! You can open up a shop. When we lived in New York, my mom used to get me stuffed animals from FAO Schwartz, but I think I heard that it has closed down. I loved walking around the shop. Coming from a little town in Sicily I felt like Alice in Wonderland seeing all those toys. My mother couldn't afford them but for my birthday she would always get me one. I remember I had a Yogi Bear that was almost as tall as I! Merry Christmas again Dave, to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteOh My Heart.... I love it!!!!!! I have collections --but none are as HUGE as Laurie's gorgeous collection. Glad you freed them.. I'm sure they brought you so much joy....
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
