Growing up on 2nd East I always knew Christmas was near when the crackling of my mother's old Christmas records began shortly after Thanksgiving. My sister and I spent hours dancing to them. Couple the music with the smell of homemade donuts, peanut brittle, and gumdrop bars and my childhood Christmas memories coming flooding back-- the beginning of my favorite things. Rigby started our first Christmas tradition the year we were married. He gave me a bear and every year since then he has added to our collection. 
Meet Mr. Bear, 1995- favorite Christmas bear
