Teddy Bear Christmas

What did the bear and his family get up to at Christmas? Well in Australia it is summer and so Christmas activities are swimming… swimming and more swimming. We eat cold chicken and ham with salad, and we like trifle and christmas cake or pudding for dessert. Here are some pictures of me and my family at Christmas.

I have been to the hospital

Boy Oh Boy!!! Being such active teddy bears, me and Wee Bear have to make sure we look after ourselves. So it was off to the doctor for a check up, all the way up to Surfers Paradise… a long, long way away.

Our special teddy bear doctor’s name is Mary. She is a very kind lady and she loves all bears.  We even slept over at Mary’s for a couple of weeks so she could look after us.

It was while we were staying with Mary that she told us that she was chosen especially by the people who made Peter Pan, at the Gold Coast, to make sure they had the right bear for their movie. She made the great big teddy bear and looked after him as he was in nearly every scene…and was even captured by the pirates!

We had lots of fun and it was almost like being on holiday. Wee Bear got some stuffing added and some new swivels. I had my stitching fixed and Mary rearranged my stuffing. We are much better now!

We were really missing Mummy and Daddy by now and so  Mary told them that we were ready to be go home. Mummy came and picked us up.
