The Untold Story part 3
For what ever reason, I just wasn’t interested in all the hustle and bustle that it involved. Why can’t Christmas be like it used to be, back in the day of old Saint Nick who brought presents to the children of the town through the goodness of his heart, not like today where everyone does something to get something in return? There’s always an expectation that if you give you will get. I was always taught that it is best to give than receive, and that is the greatest gift of all. Growing up as a middle child actually made that slightly easier too for me to understand and respect, especially as there were four other children in the family. Four brothers and me being the only girl, I had learnt to not put any expectations on the opposite gender. I learnt this at a young age, “Never trust a boy, they only want one thing and they’re not getting it from my little girlâ? my father would say with a stern look on his face and a wrinkle in his brow.
