Christmas is all about new birth and new life. The Christ of Christmas came into our world for the sole purpose of giving all people the gift of "new life and life eternal." Like any gift, however, it must be accepted and that's your choice and mine to make.
Thanks to his owner's choice, this small Jerry Mahoney is experiencing the gift of a new life of sorts this Christmas. When Steve Thrash sent Jerry to me last month, it appeared the vintage doll's life was pretty much over. But after some considerable TLC (he now has hollow body with head on post, too) he was able to exit my shop this week, prepared for an extended period of service, providing joy to all he meets and greets. A perfect gift for any season of the year, but certainly appropriate this weekend. (Somewhere there's a Howdy Doody hoping for the gift of a new set of clothes!)
Another Great Job Me. D.

Then the Second Photo, "With a lot of Help from my Friend," third Photo, "I am restored again, and able to be part of the betterment of Society,. Thanks, My Friend Mr. Detweiler" Happy New Years to all,
