The following is the original Santa Mouse that I played with as a child. I believe my parents acquired it the year I was born and it was on their first tree. It was the only thing I asked my mother for before she died and I did not get it. I still do not have it; my brother did a few years ago but he has divorced and I don't know what became of it. Thrown out with the trash, I suppose.
The original Santa Mouse had great adventures with a sleigh and reindeer. As a child (and an adult) with an over-active imagination, Santa Mouse took on a persona of his own and swooped around the house at Christmas time.

Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here if you want to read other Thursday Thirteens and/or play along. I've been playing for a while and this is my 476th time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday.
Oh, I have ornaments on my tree this year that I always admired on my mother's tree and after she died and I was in her house, I came across them in a bag. Now they hang on my tree. Your mice are cute. Good thing they aren't rats.
ReplyDeletevery cute =not a creature was stirring but in your house yes
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection. I'm sorry you did not get your first Santa Mouse back. My most cherished ornament is a flocked Santa given to me by my maternal grandmother for my first Christmas. My sisters and I each were allowed to pick out one new ornament every year. Added to those made or received as gifts, we each had a nice selection for our own trees when we finished school. My T13

ReplyDeleteI'll pick a favorite, it's the smooth silver mouse.
I'm sorry you didn't get to have your favorite mouse. That was such an easy thing for someone to do, too. *shakes head*
