I’ve been thinking about Christmas when I was small. Shopping on a very small budget, keeping our purchases secret, wrapping our packages. We used to buy things like Yardley lavender soap, pipe tobacco, calendar towels on a wooden dowel, ribbon candy, etc…

Do parents still teach their children to shop for and think of others?

I'm really surprised that not many houses in my new neighborhood have outdoor Christmas decorations.
