An old doll make new

I hope you enjoy this fireplace... you can set it to play in a loop and it is like you have your own fireplace... enjoy the sight and sound of winter!
Mom told me about a Christmas when things were leaner than usual for the McKernan family… Nanny took an old doll of Mom’s and used some of her own hair to redo the dolls curls along with sewing new clothes out of old scraps of cloth to dress the doll up and gave it to Mom so she would have a present for Christmas. Mom told me the story when I was young and recanted the story later in life but I have heard enough stories to know that Christmas was not a happy time for Mom. We might not have gotten everything we wanted but we never WANTED FOR ANYTHING.
