I dont need a doll anymore. I need socks and a scarf. Thanks., your friend, Nannie ----------------------------------------Christmas Day , 1944Well I got my doll a real baby! She cries and wets. She has blue eyes and blonde hair. Thank You Jesus for sharing Your birthday with her, her name is Mary Elizabeth. Thanks again.------------------------------------------Christmas, 1963Jesus, my little girl wants to go far away and stay. She wants to be Your bride! This is a hard thing for me to understand, but I must. Take care of my baby, Mary. As always, Nan ---------------------------------------Christmas 1964No longer a little girl, all grown up with a new name, Sr. Mary Noel, a pretty name for someone who was born on Christmas day. Shes happy now and so am I.
