Christmas! I’m sure I received lots of gifts that year. But I can’t remember any of them except what I got\u00a0from my sister Roxanne. Yes, it was just what you’re thinking – a blue plastic flashlight necklace! \u00a0I couldn’t wait to wear it to school. And I did, the very first day we returned from Christmas break. Everybody loved it.<\/p>\n
