My Childhood Christmas

Some 65 years ago, my Christmas, and that of most of my friends, was pretty frugal and this was literally so true.

Consider this, frugal means “sparing or economical with regard to money or food” which originates from the from the Latin “frugalis” derived from “fruit” and hits the nail right on the head as we were given an orange, a luxury at that time of the year, and a good way to teach what frugality was all about!
