Ragdoll
Ragdoll
by David Mussen
I was probably nine years old when when I got all sulky, and most likely, indignant about not getting what I wanted for Christmas. My mother then told me the story of her 1947 “Un-Christmas”. My Grandmother was the only one working (Granddad was out on disability) and so the family didn’t get presents under the tree that Christmas. Seven years old and no toys for Christmas. Believe it or not I actually listened to my mother, and the story always stuck with me. So I wrote her this song because that seven-year-old girl would have probably been just fine with getting a rag-doll. Also, I can’t sew.
