Paddington, Scout and the Belated Christmas Gift I.
DADDY: "Alright everybear. Even though I hate to say this, Christmas is over. Who will help me to take down the Christmas tree?"
SCOUT: "Oh no! Does that mean the magic of Christmas is over, Paddy?"
PADDY: "Oh no, Scout. The magic of Christmas can live on in your heart until next Christmas, Scout. Just think, every time you cuddle Dolly, or talk to her or take her anywhere, you are carrying a piece of Christmas with you, because she was your very first Christmas present."
SCOUT: "She was my first Christmas present EVER, Paddy!"
DADDY: "So will you help me, Paddy and Scout? Scout, I need your tenaciousness to help get the decorations off the upper boughs of the tree."
SCOUT: "Oh yes Daddy! I will help."
PADDY: "I will help do the lower branches, Daddy."
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "I will help you Paddy."
BOGART: "And I will help you Sco..." *Looks beneath the tree.* "Wait! Stop! Everybear, come quickly! There is still a present under the tree!"
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Bogart has travelled all the way from Georgia, via Alabama as a gift to me from a friend. He has lovely Southern manners and seems to be a fun and gentle soul with an inquisitive nature.
Travelling all the way from London, Cousin Paddington was caught in transit thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic, so it looks like he is stopping with us for a long while. That makes me happy, as the more I look into his happy, smiling face, the more attached I am becoming to him.
