We'd go to church in the morning on Christmas day and I'd be dressed in the clothes my mum had bought since September that I'd be fantasising about. Everyone gets to see the Christmas hair that had been hiding under scarfs and we commend each other's looks.

As a pastor's child I usually got gifted more money than the other kids in church and that was the highlight of my Christmas. Then I'd still get more from aunties and uncles later in the day. I get nothing less than 3k and that was big money. Same every year till I was like 12 and was too big 😭
