TREATS: During Christmas, it is a challenge to get ready for company, visit, prepare special food, wrap gifts, etc.

Haight recounts a tale from her youth about wishing for gifts.

Haight writes, “When I was 12 years old, other girls in school were getting shoulder strap purses. I wanted one so badly but they were almost three dollars and my grandparents did not have the money. I begged and I was the best little girl you ever met for the weeks before Christmas. Well, I got the purse and I loved it.”

Christmas Day is only 15 days away, which means there are only 19 days left to perfect the above recipes.
