One of my favorite Christmas gifts ever was the Rainbow Brite doll I got in 1986. I was so enamored with her ROYGBIV beauty that on Christmas morning I refused to play with anything or anyone else. There's even VHS footage of me snapping at my little sister and her Cabbage Patch baby to go away because I was otherwise engaged. So, when I saw that Amazon had the same doll in all her original yarn hair glory, I had to get one for Charlotte.
Sure, she's eighteen months to my four years when I got the doll, and the box clearly states that it's not for children under three. (Apparently, there's danger of tykes choking on Rainbow's sprite sidekick, Twink.) But there's no harm in letting her look at it. Truth be told, I'd rather keep the toy mint for a while. I'm not ready to see Char Bar unleash her considerable fury enthusiasm and mangle poor Rainbow.
To me, Rainbow Brite symbolizes Christmas and joy and nostalgia and all of the things. And I want to instill that in Charlotte so that she can find her own merry muse, be it Bluey or Elmo or a character that hasn't hatched yet. Because that's what Christmas is all about.
Well, that and antagonizing your siblings.

Such a lovely necklace too.. I guess the countdown to Christmas has started. We have the City Christmas party to attend to this week. I am still putting baggy gifts together.

Awesome to find Rainbow. So adorable. And such sweet Christmas memories. Love these outfits! Such a great holidays post! All the best to the holidays with friends and family! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀 I'm afraid I've been having too much fun with the OC RP gang. Its always interesting to find new inspiration. And hopefully, it'll be for good. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 Of course, find a new site with great faceclaims always helps too. Although, unlikely sources. And I've been watching the Chinese version "Why is he still Single?" and I have to say it's such a beautiful production. Especially, in men's ware and the guy who stars in it makes me think he could be Ezra's dad, or at least uncle. 🍒🍒🍒🍒💕💕💕💕😉😉😉😉🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄💛💛💛💛💛💛🎀🎀🎀🎀🎄🎄🎄🎄🫠🫠🫠🫠 Oh, here's to fun and much happiness this December!
What a cute story of your Christmas with Rainbow Brite!! It's so cool that you bought one for Charlotte; the legacy lives on! Speaking of rainbows, your outfits are totally Christmas cool. I adore how you accessorized the first outfit with the pops of lime green, and the second look has an amazing color block going on! The cherry-themed third outfit is also a win. Lastly, your Season's Gleamings necklace is totally awesome with the array of colors! 💜🩵💚💗
It is amazing how we associate and remember the feelings from our childhood. I'm sure finding the Rainbow Brite doll for Charlotte was exciting for you!! Love all your bold bright outfits.. In case I don't get back before- wishing you a very merry wonderful Christmas. Can't wait to see pics of Charlotte and find out what she loved about Christmas.
