Saving the Economy

I spent most of today wrapping and stickering.

Once, when I was about six years old, my grandparents couldn't afford even the most minimal presents. I spent Christmas eve wrapping old toys and clothes, pretending they were from Santa. God, it must have broke their hearts.

Our once neighbor, Hedwig was born in Germany and her father gave all the kids toys, let them play with them on Christmas Day, then took them back and gifted them again the following year.

That is so funny. I guess if you knew it was going to happen, you would just adjust to it.
