RE: We choose what we hold onto

It is strange in what we choose to hold onto, memories mostly the good or funny, even though many did lead to a solid spanking when young blame older brothers, it was worthwhile!

Parents came from totally different backgrounds, they too reflected not only hardship but entertaining moments, especially my Dad in war years in North Africa, strange funny/sad events reflected on.

Perhaps we were all battling class back then, no one was jealous of another receiving better gifts, that came into fruition later with our children spending Christmas with cousins whose family spoiled cousins rotten. We simply stated we don't have that 'type' of money. All extra was spent on travel, and holidays together, it really is in what we choose to hold onto.
