BIRTHDAY BEAR TRADITION

I have 9 old, wrinkly friends, who are retired or semi-retired. Five of them all used to work together and the other four are husbands. They didn't want to lose touch when they retired so they decided to meet and have lunch or dinner when it was their birthdays. However, they got disenchanted with buying a present every time, and decided instead to give a Birthday Bear (thats me.) I get passed from one birthday person to the next each time they meet. The fun part is, that I get to be dressed differently each time, usually to reflect some aspect of the recipient's personality or life.
PS: Two of my wrinklies, Chris and Bob, have gone on a working holiday tour around Australia so they don't celebrate with us very often.

SANTA BEAR

At Christmas time my wrinkly friends all have a lunch together. Ann usually dresses me as Christmas character. This year I am one of Santa's helpers.
 We were at the Sunnybank Hotel. One of our favourite places.

All the wrinkles  brought lots of presents  and I had to look after them and give them out. I felt very special.

I enjoyed watching the wrinkles open their presents but did I get one???????????
