Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site
Christmas with Nat and Parker
 

 

Happy Holidays from

Nat and Parker!

Traveling Teddy bears Nat and Parker interrupted their tour of the National Parks in December of 2002 to come back home to the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site for the annual Victorian Christmas celebration.

Parker vowed:

"I'll Be Home for (Victorian) Christmas"

The two cubbies had fun frolicking in the snow and helping to decorate the Site. They both pass on the message:

"We Wish You a Merry Beary Christmas and a Happy New Year!"
