I don't recall getting money for Christmas as a kid. Money was tight and I guess I was fortunate to get socks and underwear along with maybe a board game and a toy of some sort. Well, I do remember getting some of those gold-wrapped chocolate coins in my stocking, so maybe things weren't so bad off after all, although they were eatable, but not spendable. No interest in trains at that time, we had neither the room or the means so Santa wouldn't listen, even if I asked.
