1. What was your favorite toy as a child?

Baby Crissy. I found her in the Sears Christmas Catalog and she was all I wanted for Christmas that year. She was a life-sized baby doll whose hair could "grow," but most importantly, she had red hair. At last, a doll that "looked" like me! I cannot stress enough how much that meant to me. Also, I would dress her up in my old baby clothes which made me feel more connected to her.

2. What did you name it?

I kept her name, and often called her "Miss Crissy," especially when she was being bad. "Miss Crissy is throwing a little hissy!"
 

3. Who gave it to you?

Santa Claus!
 

4. Do you still have it?

Nope.

5. If not, what happened to it?

I have a sister who is four years my junior, and my mother would hand down my toys to her. I wasn't too pleased about that, particularly this toy because my sister ended up cutting her hair, thinking that it would grow back out. I don't know what happened to her, but I assume that she was either tossed, sold, or donated. While I hadn't thought about her in years, I kind of miss her, now.
