Warm on a Snowy, Cold Christmas Eve!

"All Through the Night"

Emma kneels down on her knees to tuck her doll "Little Dear One" in snugly under her cozy wool cover. 'Tis cold outside and the snow is softly falling o'er the ground. Emma wears an antique flannel nightgown. Flannel is so cozy and warm! Emma was made by talented dollmaker Margaret Flavin.

Dolls are so special at Christmastide!



"All Through the Night" by Rachel Field
A sweet little story about Mary and Joseph only finding room to spend the night in a stable. When the Baby Jesus is born all the animals sense how special the Child is and the dog in particular spends all night guarding the little family. When Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus leave the stable in the morn the dog watches them leave and then runs to catch up with them to be a part of this family, too.

Another magical post! Dolls are extra special at Christmastide! Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!

Dear Becca,

So glad that you enjoyed our post!

I had the best time when I was little taking my doll I received for Christmas to my Grandmum's house, dressing her in her snowsuit, and taking it off when I got
there, giving her a bottle, then putting her snowsuit back on when we were going home and then dressing her in her bedtime clothes and tucking her in her crib!

Christmas joy to you and your family!

Your friends,
Diane and daughter Sarah, and the Dolls and Tillie Tinkham the seamstress mouse at Corgyncombe
