Answer:
the age of six I was placed in foster care and celebrated Christmas. When I was younger, my mother had tried to explain what a Christmas tree was. But I'd never seen one because my father didn't believe in holidays. She had a habit of twisting the silver foil from a gum wrapper around her finger to make a long curl. One day I told her it was pretty. She then tried to explain that when she was young her parents used to bring in a tree at Christmas time and they'd make foil spirals and paper flowers to decorate the tree. I didn't understand of course. I remember imagining a tree branch leaning against the wall with a silver curl hanging from it. She didn't even try to explain what Christmas was. I was too young. I should probably explain that this was up in the mountains of Kentucky, and that I'd never been anywhere but our little shack and a neighbor's farm. So when I was in the foster home in Chicago, December rolled around, and the other kids started talking about Christmas. They brought in a big tree, a huge Scotch Pine. It smelled like home.. We kids got to put on the decorations and my foster dad turned on the lights! Omg!!! It was so beautiful. We put on silver tinsel that reminded me of my mother's little silver curl. I was so happy that I forgot to miss her. I don't remember being afraid or sad at all. Not until much later when the normal problems of childhood came up, and I realized that nobody was on my side. I was just another kid among seven. And the three oldest were my foster parent’s actual grandchildren. They didn't treat us differently though. And after a few years they actually became very loving towards me. I knew I wasn't really their kid, but I was part of their family. They made that very clear. Also, even though they weren't overly religious, they took us to church every Sunday. A little Baptist church. Grandpa was the lead singer, an Irish tenor. That was a good thing for me. Because even though I became agnostic, I learned very important coping skills and prayer is very much like meditation. I was there for seven years and it made me who I am today, for better or worse. So seeing Christmas and church, and going to school for the first time, were my greatest experiences. And honestly, the age of six was a great time for those experiences. Any younger and I wouldn't have got as much out of them.
