The NYT magazine writes that polls taken in the U.S. & U.K. indicate that 40% of adults sleep holding stuffed animals. Many admit even talking to them. Now we know what 2016 taught us about polls and I don't doubt that Brexit has made the Brits clutch anything warm & fuzzy. But I was a child of the great Depression and this practice passed me by. The Teddy Bear goes back to 1902 from a Roosevelt hunting trip but apparently is now out of favor. As an outlier I wonder what I will find under the Christmas tree.
