He is given a place of honor every Christmas, then packed away carefully until the next year. His original box and book are long gone, so I'm excited to see info in this thread that could help bring back the story. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/201043570854551472Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059731033561256727.post-29076625469989053902017-12-05T20:49:42.089-06:002017-12-05T20:49:42.089-06:00Well Hello there!

I think one of my sisters wrote you this week. This is so charming that you found this book and all the additional details. There is more. This attention will warm my Dad's heart! Feel free to write, maybe we can get more pics of artifacts for you!<br />Merry Christmas!DesignDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064129798409434660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059731033561256727.post-51572791982936924762017-12-05T08:57:04.108-06:002017-12-05T08:57:04.108-06:00That's wonderful to hear!

I was born in 1960. Today only the Holly Boy himself is still around. You can see what he looks like here: http://www.pinterest.com/kari_storm/holidays/ He has a styrofoam head and body with a wire armature so you can pose him. We only brought him out at Christmas.<br />Out Holly Boy is a little worse for wear and tear but your post has prompted me to see if the record is still in my crate of 45s. I know the book fell apart long ago and was thrown away - but I will start searching to see if I can get the complete set back together again. I am sure Holly Boy would love to hear his song one more time.Seven Crowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111421127598885800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059731033561256727.post-11732472896370348002013-01-13T16:46:22.595-06:002013-01-13T16:46:22.595-06:00I have not heard of the holly boy before, but I lo...I have not heard of the holly boy before, but I love the illustrations!GardenOfDaisieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110646840082802721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059731033561256727.post-24606813931220486992013-01-12T15:24:31.491-06:002013-01-12T15:24:31.491-06:00Really interesting story!Really interesting story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059731033561256727.post-60175622764470110592013-01-11T20:10:24.869-06:002013-01-11T20:10:24.869-06:00Thank you all for your terrific comments!

The story behind it (and the comment) are both really interesting, and I would love to see a follow up if you find out anything more. <br /><br />I'm just back from Australia so not started blogging yet, but I could not resist a look at your post. I had several orders waiting to be processed when I got home and loads of emails, so I’m gradually working my way through them all. Next job is to unpack and catch up with all the washing and ironing. I hope to get back to doing a few blog posts soon. I'm also looking forward to catching up with everyone's posts - I missed a lot while I was away. Happy New Year.<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059731033561256727.post-13526077426458829242013-01-09T21:10:56.367-06:002013-01-09T21:10:56.367-06:00What a great story!
