It's that one thing.

The one thing you wanted, admired and loved from afar, and received on Christmas morning.

For a young Stefani Langenegger, guest host of CBC Radio's The Morning Edition, it was Mattel's Baby Tender Love doll.

It was 1972 and the dolly, thatcould reallydrink juice and milk, caught Langenegger's four-year-old eye in a Christmas catalogue.

"I really wanted this doll," she said.

On Christmas morning, the baby doll appeared under the tree, in a carriage; exceeding all expectations.

"What blew my mind was that she came in a pram," Langenegger said.

Recently, Saskatchewan's political leaders weighed in with their stories.

For Premier Brad Wall, it was cowboy Johnny West.
