    Santa never wrapped our toys he left them under the lit tree and when I made my way into the family room and caught a glimpse of my Ballerina doll I gasped! I almost started crying due to the mixed emotions of seeing her and thinking how much Santa must love me to bring her to me.
    I am 48 now and seeing her brings back all those excited emotions. I love seeing toys that make take me back to my childhood

[...] The Tubsy Doll was a babydoll made by Ideal in 1967 and 1968.  She came with a little bath tub and was battery operated.  When she was in her tub and you turned her on, her arms would move up and down to splash in the water.  This is a very special doll to me!  I wanted her so bad for Christmas and I will always remember how happy I was to receive my Tubsy that magical Christmas morning!  The next Christmas I got my Dancerina!
