Maybe there is a Santa Claus after all.

This afternoon I went to Wal-Mart, expecting to possibly buy their Big Ben. It's not something I really want to do, but I feel like I might as well. To my surprise, all the collector dolls had gone into hiding, except for the Basics display.

And that's when I saw her, completely perfect.














































I tried to talk myself out of it, but this is the only No. 5 I have seen with even eye paint. Once I had her in my hands, there was no turning back.
