My parents decided when I was born that they'd gift me a Holiday Barbie every year. This barbie in particular holds a special place in my heart as she was the very first barbie they gave me.  For over twenty years, I held onto this barbie and the nine other barbies I received. Now as I'm preparing for grad school, I decided it was time to give these dolls a new home. All my barbies are up for auction, so please check them out if you're interested in the barbies of 2000-2009 (I've included a group picture of my collection). I never opened any of the boxes, but the box on this one has some water damage from storage, and another reason for me to re-home my girls. I circled the area in question in one of the photos).

The 2000 Special Edition Celebration Barbie Doll is a true collector's gem that captures the spirit of the holiday season with timeless elegance and grace. Dressed in a stunning gown befitting the most festive celebrations, this Barbie doll is a vision of holiday glamour. She wears a floor-length gown in shimmery gold and ivory colors. Adding to her holiday charm, this Barbie features intricate details. The bodice is adorned with delicate snowflakes that also fall on the skirt of the dress. An impressive gold necklace graces her neck, and her golden earrings complement her radiant smile. She wears a soft ivory shawl and styles her blonde hair straight with a braided crown to hold her golden crown in place. She proudly holds an ornament bulb with snowflakes and the year 2000 on it, celebrating the turn of the new millennium. She's not just a doll; she's a keepsake that captures the essence of the most wonderful time of the year, and she's ready to make your holiday celebrations even more special.
