  1. The historical Christmas/holiday dresses are my favorites for all the historical dolls. The outfits give the doll owners a visual representation of how that time period celebrated a holiday.

  3. Oh I agree too. I love the holiday dresses best of all. I miss the historical accessories that went with each dress. Hope they bring those back soon. The Nina doll and Ida Bean came back, but I miss Kit's doll and hope that they give Mary Ellen some I Love Lucy paper dolls at least to be an item in her collection. If it's good for the story, than they should at least make it apart of her collection.
