I remember one christmas when things were rough mum and dad bought ten penny bars of cadburys(yep old pennys the bars were about the length and width of a ladys middle finger)they were hidden all over the house and they made up clues. Mum chased me round the house pretending to try and get one of the bars before i could. we laughed and shared tangerines wrapped in silver paper or coloured tissue. It wasn't till many years later I realised how hard that year had been for them. I learned then the greatest gift you can give your children is love and memories of laughter.
