#XmasPast

A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens

My childhood Christmases were filled with family, books and things for my doll Molly 😄. I was 11 in this picture and remember this particular Christmas well. Those backgrounds were a huge hit and I played with them, and Molly, long past “doll playing age”. That dress was also a favorite of mine. I sort of wish I could still pull that style off lol. #christmascarolbuddyread #xmaspast #christmaspast

#ChristmasCarolBuddyRead #XmasPast 🎄This is Orvil--a big part of my Christmas past. He was given to my parents by my grandmother before I was born. Family legend, started by my dad, is that I was conceived beneath him & looked like him when I was born (Thanks, Dad!)😱At some point in my childhood he came down off their headboard & my mom replaced his tattered clothes with a holiday outfit & he was set out every year at Christmas. I claimed him...

DebinHawaii ...as my birthright when my mom passed away a couple years ago & picked him up from my sister on my visit to Oregon in May. I wasn't sure if he would make an appearance this year as I'm still in the 'one moment he makes me smile, the next he makes me sad' mode, but he & his 'baby' added years later are out for now. This issue of ACC makes me a tad melancholy with the sad, creepy kids & all so I'm grabbing something cheerful to close out the night. (edited) 7y

TrishB Lovely ❤️ there are a few years where things can make you laugh and be sad at the same time. 7y

#XmasPast #ChristmasCarolBuddyRead #ChristmasCarolReread My favorite Christmas memory of the past is Christmas morning as a little girl and waiting for a ride in Santa's sleigh around town-I always wondered why Santa used our horses😳 can I say NAIVE-no wonder my brothers teased me relentlessly😂😂😂

mabell So cute! ❤️ 7y

I was just home visiting my parents. I haven't been there at Xmas time for many, many years. So I was flooded with memories of #xmaspast. My mum still puts out all kinds of decorations from when I was a kid. Like these plates.
A local artist made them each year and it was always exciting to see the new design. I loved them growing up and I still do. (Fortunately there's 10. My sis and I both covet them. ☺️)

I have so many fond memories of #XmasPast but the best has to be the Christmas night that Mr. KVanRead proposed. I said yes. 😌And it‘s been happy xmas‘s ever since.💕 (Oh and it wasn‘t quite as long ago as this picture would suggest 😂) #ChristmasCarolBuddyRead #ChristmasCarolReread

jenniferw88 Have been without a phone for the last few days so am catching up on Litsy and other apps. @SerialReader is currently not allowing me to log in as I can't remember my password/doesn't recognise my email address but hope to catch up soon! 7y
KVanRead Hope you work out your phone and Serial Reader soon. Passwords are so frustrating at times. 7y

Mog's Christmas | Judith Kerr

Remembering this from my #xmaspast, I had to share it with my toddler! Of all the #animals in his books, I think I love Mog the most! #christmascarolreread #christmascarolbuddyread #reindeerreads

laurieluna @TommieMarie74 the tagged book was published in 1978, but theres a whole series. Very much a throw back. The other one was released last year with a bug supetmarket to raise money. They made an advert of the story too. They're really lovely stories. X 7y

bedandabook I love these books! My daughter and I had so much fun reading them. I think Judith Kerr is still writing/illustrating, even though she‘s in her nineties. Amazing woman, and Mog is just such a loveable character. 7y
laurieluna @bedandabook yeah the calamity one is from 2015! She was 80 in 2002 when she wrote the one before this 'Goodbye, Mog'. Still as brilliant as ever, and I love that she writes and illustrates it all herself. 7y
KVanRead Mogs looks lovely 😻 7y
quietlycuriouskate We have a soft spot for Mog, too! 😻 7y
Joanne1 Oh this has sent me straight back to my childhood. I loved the Mog books. Thanks for sharing these. 7y
laurieluna @KVanRead @River_Voice @Joanne1 she's the ultimate calamity cat! 😊😺 7y
