Even Smurfs are Celebrating!

It's Blue Monday and this week I have a silly little stroll down memory lane for you. The Smurfs were very popular when I was a kid. They had their morning cartoon and lots of merchandise, similar to their friends Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite, who I really didn't care for. I don't know why. Although their heritage is Belgian, those Smurfs living in the United States celebrate Thanksgiving along with the rest of us.
They collect their harvest.

Smurfette and her friend like to dress up like American Indians for the holiday.



For Christmas they are right in the spirit decorating the tree and passing out gifts.Papa Smurf likes to dress up and play Santa for all the little Smurfs!
I found all of these collectible figurines ona website called BLUE BUDDIES. They had all sorts of Smurf memorabilia if you're looking for a walk down memory lane.
For more beautiful blues, visit Smiling Sally our Blue Monday hostess.

    My kids loved the Smurfs and at some point had some of those figures. Wonder where they are now? Probably on someone's website for sale...LOL.
    Thanks for the Memory Jog.

    I'll have to check that site out - I'm a collector of the 80's smurf figurines and still love to watch the cartoon. I'm always scouring garage sales for smurf memorabilia.

    Such fun little creatures! I have two for Thanksgiving that seem to be made of a rubbery substance as they bend a little. Are yours resin? Maybe mine will show up next week for Blue Monday. :)
