And that’s where things can get a bit muddled for them – as author Kelly Coon knows all too well.

One replied: “I too grew up very poor. I never had a story to tell about what I got for Christmas when I went back to school. Sometimes I would hear about what other kids were saying they got and lie and say I got it too.”
وأضاف آخر: “We’ve ALWAYS done presents from friends & family under the tree and Santa brings small gifts in a stocking on Christmas Eve. My colleague said she’s never had that issue growing up or with her kids & I’m like you’re wealthy & live in a wealthy area – you won’t.”
