Context: My parents didn't make a lot of money and were very conservative with what we had. But, my mother loved Christmas and getting presents for kids. She would wrap and hide them because snoopy kids like me were trying to find them. One Christmas she found a gift for me that had been hidden for a couple of years.
Today is my Mom's 90th birthday and sadly today we had to move her from her home of 56 years to an assisted living/aging facility. While going through a drawer in her bedside dresser my sister discovered a small package wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper. It was a single box of Remington standard velocity .22. Most certainly intended for me and I'm guessing it was from around 1974. I shot a lot of rimfire as a kid. Rimfire ammo for Christmas!!! What an awesome mom I have!
