The One About Tatty Teddy...

Every year I get my Mum a small Tatty Teddy for her Christmas stocking, and this year was set to be the same.  It has to be one of the smaller ones as otherwise it just wouldn't fit in the stocking.  So I went to Clinton's which is where I normally buy them from, but they didn't have any of the smaller ones.  I searched everywhere on the highstreet, and there were just larger ones.  So I persuaded M & his Dad to go to Botany Bay as last year they had lots.  Yet again I was disappointed.  In the end we went to one of the card shops in our local town and I asked where they had all gone.  I was told they had been discontinued, and they were bringing out a slightly larger one now.  So I have bought the slightly larger one but am going to need to take it out its little cardboard stand to make it fit in the stocking!

How annoying! But it's lovely to hear about little traditions like this. How did it get started?
