Your friend comes over with her family for X-mas and hands your child a nicely wrapped gift. You forgot to get her child a present?

IF I didn't have a few 'gifts' put away - I usually have a few spare things wrapped up to give if a neighbor comes over and they bring me an unexpected gift but say in this case I didn't have anything at all I could wrap or regift in a short amount of time... I look her straight in the face and apologize and say "I'm sorry I completely forgot about a gift for such and such, I'm so very sorry". That's it, there is nothing else to do.

If it was before christmas I would prowl through the gifts I had on hand and would simply make a tag and say nothing. If no gift came to mind I would send my husband to the store to get an age appropriate gift.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
