I still have my brown teddy bear from when I was a toddler. Boy - he's one old bear now. He's thread bare in spots and is missing one of his sewn on eyes. I refused to pass him down to my kids when they were little!

I have quite a few Christmas bears that come out for the holidays, but I don't keep them out year round like my other collection of stuffies. It's sometimes a challenge to find somewhere to sit, since the bears take up residence on the sofas and chairs!
