Raggedy Ann Christmas Special Edition Collector Doll Holiday Keepsake

Each Christmas morning since 1918, thousands of children have fallen in love with Raggedy Ann. Among all the beeping, flashing, battery powered wonders of Toyland, she smiles quietly under the tree, or peeps from an overstuffed stocking, patiently waiting for her old-fashioned virtues to be noticed. Raggedy Ann is not so different from when Santa Claus brought her to today's parents and grandparents long ago. However, over the years there has been enough change to make her a favorite with collectors as well as with kids. Being cherished by generations makes Raggedy Ann feel extra special, but it is not the only reason she finds the holiday season so festive. Author Johnny Gruelle, who first gave us Raggedy Ann, was born on Christmas Eve of 1880. To wish a joyful holiday to all, and a happy birthday to "Uncle Johnny," Raggedy Ann is all dolled up in her very finest. Not only that, she brings a dated commemorative ornament to brighten your home!
