Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Teddy

I happened to have already scanned this image a few years ago and thought I'd use it today, to wish everyone who celebrates Christmas a very happy day. Me, many, many years ago (lol!), wearing homemade, flannel pyjamas and clutching one of my Teddy bears. Merry Christmas, everyone! Here, our temperature on Christmas morning is -19C (windchill -29C). Extreme cold warnings are in effect for Alberta. The forecast for "a few flurries" has changed, so sunshine should be here to stay all day. There is too much snow on the ground already, so we don't need any more.

No eyes, hardly any fur, and a "squeaker" that no longer growls .... that's my dear old Teddy bear from when I was a little girl (a few decades ago, LOL). A few months ago, a family member was on a short trip to England and was given this bear by my brother, to bring over to Canada for me! Just after Christmas, I was able to collect him from my son's. Can't remember what the bright red bow was from, but it was still lying on my two-seater since Christmas. I gave it to my Teddy to brighten up the photo : ) It feels so weird to see and feel this old, beloved toy again. Just wish he could "see" me : (.
