Merry Christmas 2021 from PTFCo!

[Alliecat]

It's Christmas party time at PTFCo!  Little plastic people can still have big fun these days, and with the arrival of our party Queen and company CCO*, the minis' party is under way.  Yay!
Here I am getting a bit crosseyed after sorting over 200 photos into just a couple dozen... I love light painting but the downside is you end up taking a million of them for each setup, to get the light in the right places.  
Hopefully there will be a few more of the bigger girls before New Year's, but here are some for starters

Adding our party Queen and King here too cos they should be with the rest of the Christmas photos.









Poppy's still wearing 2 right boots, but she's happy she got a Christmas sweater that (mostly) fits and was able to join the festivities.






And Jake is happy someone else got called to pose on the cold porch in the wind this year












Someone's lit up cos they got a new guitar.



Darla & Doryn



Princi.
One example of shooting a million takes for a good pic... tried to get the snowglobe 'snow' to make light trails but nope.



Hear the sweet angelic little voices?



Pam, Miki & Penny



Nice of them to invite Danbo.  He helped Pam decorate the tree.



Kailani & Sunsette



Looks like Santa dropped a parcel overboard.  Roxann, Marilyn & Kai



Had to show our wee piano player's face.  This has become Janice's thing.



Meanwhile, the side party is off stargazing.  Rachel, Lila, Ika, & Becky.






Mele Kalikimaka to all the crew's Dolly Market friends, and thanks for encouraging the photography!  Sharing the pictures is a lot of the fun.

Seriously wish I was a mini just so I could go to this party. It looks like so much fun. Janice seems to have acquired a hat. I approve and Meredith is jealous.

The mini party is always so much fun to see! They look like they’re having a ball there.

Like the quiet group star gazing in the corner.

Janice looks more relaxed this year with her piano playing. It’s nice spot see she’s practicing her thing still.

Happy Holidays to you and your Christmas crew!

Another spectacular party spectacle - with a cozy sweetness that I hope goes on forever and ever!

And who is that flying through the sky? More surprises to come for the PTFCo? I guess they were more nice than naughty this year!

I like the outside lights! Do you leave them up all year long? Or at least through the darkest months of winter?

Mele Kalikimaka!

Merry Christmas! PTFCo parties are always the best! Glad everyone is having a good time... I love the mirror lake!

Thank you everybody!

In fact there was.  And the minis at least, are cute enough to be a little naughty and still have it count as nice  

No... I leave them up into January out of laziness... I wish I'd put them up earlier -- people here start before Remembrance Day -- but not THAT early.  It would be nice to leave them through the dark months but I do bring them in once lights start disappearing from other houses.



When you realize you've spent over 2 hours on 5 shots...  Oh well.  What I said above about light painting....
Anyway, some of the other dolls wanted some Christmas pix, so here they are.


I may have mentioned in previous uses of the background, (?), but Mom & Dad made it from a Christmas card design that a neighbour gave them when I was a little kid.  It was in front of the fireplace every year in that house.  I gave Dad hell when I found out he intended to throw it out when we moved.  No fireplace here, so it goes randomly in the hall.  I still hear from the ex-wife of the neighbour couple at Christmas.






Rose.  Dad got her for me at a Christmas market ages ago because I thought she was so pretty although I wasn't "into" dolls as an adult at that point.



I have a feeling her Christmas wish will come true....  .......

[Elfy]

Now I really want to know what the wish was.

[Lejays17]

I will keep fingers crossed that Samantha does get her wish.

And tge angel is just beautiful, and it was very nice of your dad to get her for you as an adult.

[davidd]

Is Angel Rose your first doll you acquired as an adult? Making her the matriarch of the PTFCo in a way?

Sweet story behind the cute holiday display. I remember being upset in my younger days when my mom would occasionally throw out old decorations that seemed, to me, like they had been around forever. (Usually she had a valid reason, like bugs having chewed them up.) I’m glad you convinced your dad to save this one. It’s special.

Your house on a freezing cold North Atlantic island doesn’t have a fireplace? Time to move, kid!

The photos all have a sense of warmth and coziness to them, even without a functional fireplace. I’m sure your house has that same overall sense to it from you and the crew and your plants and butterflies bringing it to life.

Samantha talking to Santa is adorable... and I think I know what her wish was! So glad it came true
