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 don't think they do as much as when I was growing up. Now if you send a child a gift, you are lucky if you get a thank you as a telephone call. I had to hand write thank you notes. I remember how gifts that were made by the person giving it to me were the most treasured. It seems that as children that was the kind of gifts we made in school for our parents. I don't know if they even do that anymore as I am not really around any children.
