This is so cute...happy birthday! My sister's 50th birthday was the 22nd. I remember she came home on Christmas afternoon, to my grandma's, and while we were eating dinner, my mom put her in a clothesbasket, just like this! Santa only left me & my other sister a doll that morning; but in the evening, when we went home, he had come back and we had all kinds of presents under the tree! I thought Santa was just the smartest guy!! :D TFS
