The
Christmas I remember best from my childhood was
happened when I
was
about five, just after my younger sister born. Lots of people were
come to our house with presents for us. I gave the job of taking the
gifts and saying 'Thank you'. As each guest was arrived, I handed
boxes or bags which filled with things that wrapped in Christmas
paper. I told which ones were for me and which ones had to be place
in a pile for my new sister. So many presents brought for us. I will
never forget the experience of given so much. It really was a very
special Christmas.
