Countdown to Christmas - DAY ONE!

 Countdown to Christmas- DAY ONE

This year I am going to be focusing on Christmas dolls- Mainly Mattel's Happy Holidays Barbie that they put out each year.  So this year, let's start day one with 1988 Happy Holidays Barbie. 

I originally had this doll many years ago when she first came out and displayed her in the box, then out of the box, but kept the box. She would be put away and then taken out each Christmas, the same with 1989 Barbie, for Christmas displays. At the time I didn't really collect Barbie, I was more into my 1:12 scale miniature dollhouses, but liked to see them with my Christmas tree displays, etc. For some reason they were lost, etc. and when I got back into collecting and decided I wanted all the Christmas dolls, I could not find them and so I repurchased them. I was lucky enough to find her and 1989 in the boxes with damage to the box at a good price since people put over the top prices on these dolls. Her stand did not come with her sadly, but I am using a stand that I did have which is okay for now. 

Tune in tomorrow for more Barbie and Fashion Doll Christmas!
