"The year of my fifth Christmas was a tough one for my folks. My Daddy lost his job at the textile factory and my mother's nursing hours got cut way back. Money was tight, so we had to make do. I was okay with that cause I understood how it was."

He was OK until - as text explains - he didn't get the one present he really wanted.
