I became very attached to "Clown" and he became rather well loved (read filthy) over the year. My Mom thought this through and ordered 10 more clowns from the same woman and then every Christmas Eve Santa would give clown a "new outfit"...But he always had the same small stuffed bear toy with him. It was the longest night of the year and sleeping on Christmas Eve without Clown and in anticipation of Christmas was the worst...but without fail he was there all clean and new. I think this was a brilliant move on Mom's part. By the way she, of course, kept all the clowns and every year they have a party under the tree at my house and a little bit of the past comes back.NYCHATHAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580495362167966796noreply@blogger.com
