The second President of the United States, John Adams, held the first ever White House Christmas party in honor of his granddaughter, Susanna. History could also say that Adams invitations sent for this party were the very first White House Christmas cards from the Peoples’ House.
First Lady Abigail Adams, planned a successful party complete with dinner, cakes and punch, with a small orchestra that played festive music in a grand ballroom adorned with seasonal flora. When one of the younger guests accidentally broke one of the First granddaughter’s new doll dishes, granddaughter Adams enraged, promptly bit the nose off of one of the offending friend’s dolls. An amused Adams stepped in to make sure the incident didn’t take an even uglier turn. Seems a president’s job is never done.

Sounds like Susanna may have had a little bit of an anger issue. LOL It did bring to mind when I, being an inquisitive child, decided to cut the toes off of my Barbie dolls. When mom found out and asked me why I had done it (as I was crying because we couldn’t glue them back on), I said I just wanted to see if I was able to cut them. It was a scientific experiment that turned out badly.

Never forget that one right? Yes…some definite anger and spoiled probably.

Never forgot, and, believe it or not, after 50 years or so, I still have those Barbie dolls – well, mom does. They were the original ones.
