Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday January 18, 1995 Around The Hat by Doris Valle The partys over for another year. Its time to pick up the pieces. To vacuum at least part of the pine needles and broken ornaments out of the rug and get on with it. I gather up the memories of each Christmas and store them away. There are so many of them now. The sad and lonely times have long since faded and only special magic Christmases are still vivid. The best Christmases of all were, of course, when my children were small. The shine in the eyes of little ones is by far the brightest of Christmas lights. own childhood My Christmases were so long ago that memories are vague, more like dreams. But I do have one tangible proof of a special gift. I must have been about six years old when Santa left me a doll. Little Bo Peep, with a crook in her hand, and small dresses my mother made for her. The dolls body was stuffed. The blue eyes did not open and shut and the hair was only painted. But I loved that doll with a pas- sion. Not many years ago, , Dorothy, my found the doll in a box. She took Bo Peep to a doll daughter-in-law- hospital and returned her, live and well again, on my birthday. Now Bo Peep watches me brush my teeth each morning. My own children always had too many presents. I cant remember feeling deprived when I was a child, member? What them, special Christmas gift do you re- - Page 10 One Christmas, Pauls things had to be carefully chosen because he was in a wheelchair. He had to be able to play with everything on a table next to his I expect stuffed animals would be high on the list. Cheris six-year-o- ld daughter sleeps with a giraffe which towered over Cheris head one Christmas. wheelchair. I know what I remember best of Pauls toys. It was a chemistry set his doting For years Cheri would not go to bed without that thing, although it was mother ordered. While Donna took over the garage with Barbies, Paul covered every available space in the basement always difficult to fit child and giraffe and a few other stuffed animals in one bed. Cindas son now treasures a motley brown bear, its eyes long gone and one ear hanging by a thread. Bozo the Bear was her favorite companion as other Christmases came and went. I wonder if Donna would remember the Barbie dolls. She and a small friend claimed the end of the garage as their special Barbie living space. Since we lived in Southern California, it was always warm enough to play there. They needed so much space we could not have possibly gotten a car in its designated spot. However the garage had long since been given over to the younger generation anyway. There were bicycles and cages for guinea pigs and other things which have nothing to do with standard garage purposes. On a shelf of an old bookcase, plaster casts of Pauls and Cheris legs gathered dust. I dont know why I kept them. Perhaps to remind me that it was nice to have them on a shelf instead of on the legs of my with chemistry experiments. Weird odors and sounds from the basement kept the family wondering if the mad scientist would blow the house off the basement foundation. Our family Christmas Program is another harIn its rowing memory. early days, Donna organized a simple program. The idea was to give them something to do so I could get on with my own Christmas preparations. However, the neighborhood children decided the Valle Christmas Program was fun. Eventually children who had moved out of the neighborhood wanted to come back to participate. My only contribution was that of referee. When there were major arguments I intervened. time consuming as the years went by. The last year we were in California, the performance was in the garage.
