Editor's Note: Do you believe in Santa Claus?

When I was a little girl – maybe 5, maybe 6 years old – all I wanted for Christmas was a Chatty Patty doll.

She was a blond doll with a string in her back, and she said an astonishing 10 – 10! – different things. I wanted that doll desperately.

On Christmas morning, I could scarcely contain myself when I saw Chatty Patty under the tree.
