Christmas Bear. I’d like everyone to meet Charlie the Christmas Bear. Most of his story is unknown to me. Perhaps he was won at a carnival for a child or by a young man trying to impress his first love. Perhaps he was lovingly picked out by a grandparent hoping for a glimpse of joy in a grandchild’s eyes. Maybe he was a gift from proud parents to a newborn, or maybe someone just saw him in a toy store and decided to bring him home.
In any case Charlie wound up sitting in the garbage room of my building on a cold, wet evening last week. He was sitting in the corner patiently waiting for someone to take him to his next home. Starring into those big brown soulful eyes I was just devastated that I couldn’t give him what his heart most desired. I apologized profusely and closed the door with a sad heart.
The very next day, however, as I came downstairs to take my pup for a walk there he was! Proudly sitting on his very own stand by the Christmas tree in the lobby. Now he sits there with a giant smile on his face overseeing all of us as we enter and leave our homes. He has become the building mascot and will forever hold a place in my heart. If you are lucky enough to be living in Yaletown you just might catch a glimpse of Charlie the Christmas Bear as warms himself by the fireplace in the lobby.
I hope everyone is having a truly wonderful holiday!

That is the sweetest story! I always think stuffed animals have souls too. I’m so glad some one rescued this little fella!
Oh the perfect x-mas story to share!
There’s something about bears which makes us all kinder and warms up our soul and smile 🙂

Yay! I know he just warmed his way into my heart.
Wow. that is such a lovely story. It always makes me sad to see stuffed animals when I am thrifting because I want to buy them to give them a good home, but then I would be overcrowded! so glad that he he is now warm by a fireplace=]

I know! I felt so bad not saving him so when I saw him in the lobby the next day I was SO happy. Yup it’s a little ridiculous but I just can’t help it.
