A few years later I learned an even greater lesson on gifts.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll have to wait for that story in a later post.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/karin.zmonkey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Christmas-gifts.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1792 aligncenter\" alt=\"Christmas gifts\" src=\"http:\/\/karin.zmonkey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Christmas-gifts-300x269.jpg\" width=\"234\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/karin.zmonkey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Christmas-gifts-300x269.jpg 300w, https:\/\/karin.zmonkey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Christmas-gifts-1024x919.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/karin.zmonkey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Christmas-gifts-900x807.jpg 900w, https:\/\/karin.zmonkey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Christmas-gifts.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 234px) 100vw, 234px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 3: Christmas Presents Of course we have presents every year but what memory could I have of that?
