My parents were struggling, not much extra money for gifts, but the very first Christmas gift I can remember is a doll that my younger sis and I received, I was about four years old. We named her MiMi. Much later my mom told me that they were never sure who left us that doll but she thought it was from a friend of my Grampa's. When my parents could afford to buy us dolls we each got a "Betsy Wetsy". BTW I think Chester is a great name for a toy monkey.
