Countdown to Christmas- Day Sixteen!

Countdown to Christmas- Day Sixteen! Today's featured doll is a classic Christmas Barbie- the one everyone calls the 'Santa Barbie' one of the most recognized and lovely dolls. 2007 Happy Holidays Barbie, dressed in a red Satin gown made to look like a Santa suit, with white fur trim and belt, and gloves, she looks like Christmas.













I have had this lovely doll for a long time, I purchased her at the local doll show many years ago and did a photo op with my gothic mansion and my Ricky Santa which turned out spectacular. 

Stay tuned for more Countdown to Christmas!

Countdown to Christmas- Day Fifteen!

Countdown to Christmas- Day Fifteen! Featured today is 2006 Happy Holidays Bob Mackie Barbie- they truly hit the mark out of the park with this lovely doll. I do not yet have 2005 Happy Holidays as I am still looking for a good price with reasonable shipping on that doll. This lovely lady features the Bob Mackie facemold, one of my personal favorites, with black velvet gown that seems to be based on Russian regalia/ coronation robes, studded with faux gems, and her headpiece is the same, and edged with faux white fur. One of my absolute favorites. 
















I think she looks amazing next to the white tree with the blue ornaments.

Countdown to Christmas- Day Fourteen!

Countdown to Christmas - Day Fourteen! Today's featured doll is Happy Holidays Barbie 2004 . We are skipping over 2002 & 2003 Christmas dolls because I have not yet added them to my collection. This doll is sedate , somberly dressed doll in a green velvet gown embellished with long green beaded elements, long full sleeves and a satin bodice. Her head /facemold is somewhat playline and this is when they began to make the Christmas dolls somewhat less collectible, so it was something of a hit or miss year to year in the early 2000's what doll you would get, in my opinion. 













She is still a much more lovelier doll than later years of 2016 and 2017, as her gown is more expensive fabrics. 
Stay tuned for more Countdown to Christmas!
