Our spinster aunt knew how to pinch a penny until it squeaked. The gifts (!) she gave my sister and I when we were 12 and 13 was a little more than a yard of crepe fabric, one in bottle green and the other dirt brown. The previous year we received a battered-looking board game with some of the pieces missing...she liked shopping at Sears Bargain Centre. But I still love her.

When I was about nine years old, we had a field frozen with ice. Lots of people were skating and I was trying on someones big skates. Those were poor years and Christmas was coming up. Christmas morning I woke up and next to my bed was a pair of skates, they were second hand but I was so happy it didn't matter. Even to this day I feel that was my best Christmas gift I ever had.

Grade seven - 1968, week before Christmas, fell and broke my ankle. Resulting me In a cast from the knee down for 8 weeks. Money was not plentiful, gifts had been bought carefully for my two brothers and myself, We lived in a small community where most gifts were purchased through the Sears catalogue. What did I get that Christmas - skates and skii's, Thank God my mom always included booksfor me as I loved to read and I think a rushed trip to the nearest town with some better shopping provided me with a yellow battery opperated transistor radio.Being an outdoor person I could only look at my skates and skii's while the others were out using theirs.
