Being a born-in with an over-zealous mother, I can still feel the pain of being left out of holiday celebrations. What a kind teacher! One thing that a few teachers did for me (and my mom allowed it) was during these holidays my teachers would give me a little gift or treat and they would specifically say it wasn't for the holiday but for a "job well done" and etc . . That always meant a lot.
Why the F do JW's even have kids??!!
