You were one lucky boy! Admitting to your love affair with your childhood bears is a wonderful thing! You are my son's age and I made him a Winnie the Pooh bear and a panda bear when he was little....I still have them along with the teddy bear his Father gave him at the hospital when he was born. Sadly my son passed away but I can still give his bears hugs and kisses. Thanks for this nice video sharing your Christmas toys. Merry Christmas.

Thank you for the sweet comments, we appreciate you!

This bear your Mama made is so cute. I made one myself but from a DIY set and he is by far not so good. I still have all my animals I got as a child.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful teddy collection, John Paul Port! I love hearing about your family and how you celebrated Christmas. That first teddy you showed us really got to me. He's special. (They all are. But I like him a lot!) Here's wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year full of joy, play, friends, adventures and maybe even some happy new additions to your collection?!!! Deborah.

I love it John! Thanks for sharing with us, I can only imagine how exciting it was to get Steiff toys at Christmas. I have virtually nothing from my childhood, but I get Steiff every Christmas now and love them so much ❤️

I had dolls and tea sets , jacks and troll dolls from childhood but my house was broken into and everything stolen . I miss my dolls the most my folks didn’t have a lot of money but I got a doll every birthday and Christmas until I was twelve . Don’t know why I’m telling you this .

[@daviddixon1011]

Love and best wishes from all of us .xx

Rachel, Thank John Paul Port who is a very nice person and I so LOVE his Teddy Bear and other Plush Toy Collection:)!!! Like John Paul Port, I too get very excited about Toys as an Adult:)!! And I also got just as excited as a Child when I received toys, which in those days were mainly Dolls:)!! And I do LOVE Dolls:). However, my Brother got an adorable Teddy Bear with a fat stomach, but I never received a Teddy Bear as a Child. However, I did not receive a Teddy Bear as a gift or own a Teddy Bear until I was an Adult:)!! So, now, although I will still collect Dolls, I really am into Teddy Bears:)!! There were no Fredrick and Nelson Department Stores in the City where I lived and still live in. Also, I never heard of Steiff Teddy Bears until I became an Adult:)!! I do not own any Steiff Teddy Bears, but someday I am hoping to own one. I really LOVED ALL of John Pauls Teddy Bears and besides the Steiff Bears I really LOVED his Tedward Bear from Trudi Toys as much as his 1972 Heunec Bear made of Mohair:)!!! Rachel, I pray that You and Derick have a very Merry Christmas and I also pray that John Paul Port has a very Merry Christmas:)!!! Thank you both for giving me some joy tonight:)!!!

So HAPPY to see this😊😊😊😊😊. Your bears and toys are an absolute delight. Sometimes, being the only bear lover for miles is very lonely...good thing I still have my bears to hug up to. The bear your Mom made is my favourite

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

You are so kind!

[@lanipettit5588]

Loved seeing your bears! Thank you! What is the company that made Cheeky? Is it a Canadian company?

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

HI! I am not sure but glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching!
