In the Winter 2007 issue of Barbie Collector we take a look back at some of the dolls you may have been given as a child, given to a child or wish to receive in order to feel like a child again. First there is our cover doll, the 2007 Holiday™ Barbie®. She is from a long line of holiday series dolls, dating back to 1988. This line has spawned many a collector, including Chris Jenson, who wrote our Reminiscences column. In addition, there is a look at other issues with a holiday theme. Remember the 1998 Holiday Treats dolls? Or, how about the Hallmark holiday exclusives? The list of dolls inspired by the season goes on and on, giving Barbie® collectors reason upon reason for celebration.
