We’re not friends anymore and haven’t been for more than ten years now. However, we were very very close from ages 12 to 25. One Christmas when we were 18 her present to me was a wrapped up VHS taped I had loaned her years before and she had forgotten it was actually my tape of Wayne’s World I was now getting back as she tried to pass it off as an actual gift.

These are sad, I feel they all need to get a hug and cry it out.

I grew up poor and my father couldn't get work one year so we had oranges as Christmas treats. It is sad we can't all get wonderful Christmas memories every year, but we need to be grateful for the memories.

My grandmother gave me a school book-bag that looked like a woman’s oversized handbag.
When I unwrapped it, my brothers – even my dad – went silent.
Grandma: “Do you like it? All of the boys by me have them.”
My brother: “They must be some strange boys…”
Dad: (to my brother) “Shaddap! (To me) “You OK?”
He could see my eyes tearing-up.
I was probably 11 or 12…..and I’m thinking:
“Why is she giving me a large, woman’s handbag??? I’m a boy!!”
She was annoyed/insulted, but she took it and promised to exchange it for something else.
Decades later and I’m still ‘WTF???’
