Day 4, Best Gift:
I'm #4 of 5 kids, and growing up, hand-me-downs were a reality. When I was about 7 years old, we went to visit my uncle in the US, and all of us went to the local mall one day. I was admiring this cute little Raggedy Ann & Andy stationery set, but I knew it was a luxury that I could never ask my parents to buy. A little later, my uncle disappeared and when he came back, he handed me this white paper shopping bag, and inside was the stationery set. At that point, I'd never owned anything brand new in my whole life and it was so special to me. I still have it, many, many years later.
