21 Days of Downsizing – Day 7
Welcome to my 21 day series of downsizing my NYC shoebox apartment for a move to Australia! Alex + I have already downsized about 70% of our belongings, but I’ve got some “on the fence” items from my closet and I could use a bit of help!
If you know me well, you know that while I’ve come around on downsizing my fashuun, I will *gulp* NEVER downsize my stuffed animals. Cuz #crazystuffedanimallady
So, tune in to help me decide what closet items to keep or not to keep! Simultaneously, I’ll introduce you to one of my stuffed animal friends, cuz I could NEVER downsize them!
Day 7 – Christmas Presence
Meet Boodair.
Boodair is the strong and silent type. In a group of talkative friends, you’d forget she was there. But when Boodair wasn’t physically hanging out in bear, all the adiboos would notice her absence.
That’s because her absence commanded presence.
It’s that certain je ne sais quoi that garrulous creatures often crave but lack even with all their jabbering for attention.
Nope. Not Boodair. You could find her behind the scenes ice fishing for all the other bears. She would slide across the pond to save baby seals even though other polar bears would gladly devour the little cuties.
Boodair never asked for praise and she didn’t manage perceptions. She just acted out of the kindness of her heart.
Those close to Boodair know that her real name is Christmas Bear, her nickname derived from “bear” similarly to how “adiboo” came from “animal.”
Boodair is giving and kind to all.
She is the definition of what we all want Christmas to represent with none of the glitz and glamour.
