Honestly, I don’t remember Christmas when I was 5 years old. I’m sure the gifts were few and probably handmade. I don’t remember being unhappy at Christmas time, so that is a good thing.
I do remember my children when they were young. They chose one favorite item for Santa to bring. (Think Pound Puppies and Cabbage Patch Dolls) and as parents, we gave them clothes, etc. And I don’t remember either child being unhappy.
At 75 years old, the children have families of their own. What do I need for Christmas at this age? I don’t need a single thing. A phone call for each child is enough. I am in good health. I have a home that shelters me from the weather. I have clothing to wear and food to eat.
Leaning back in my recliner, looking at my surroundings, remembering days gone by, and resting my tired bones seems like a perfect Christmas to me. I certainly won’t remember the 2024 Christmas as an unhappy one. My life is good.
