Christmas Memory

I forgot to mention that when I was five years old, one of my most favorite Christmas gift was a Barbie House my mom constructed for me out of a box. 

 You know the saying "Kids would rather play with a box than their toys"... Well, we were so poor, we did play with boxes. Hehe

My mom painted a box and added widows and furniture. She had an uncle make the furniture, I think. And she found some carpet, wall paper etc, and made this really amazing dollhouse for my Barbies out of a box!  She painted the outside white, and I remember the living room of the barbie house was white and blue. I loved that house a lot. I played with it all the time.

 My younger sister sat in it and got in huge trouble for it, and that is how it got ruined. I got her back by hitting her with a broom stick. (yes, lovely sister rivalries)
