I grew up with a family of 11 and I can honestly relate! New was new to YOU and I never felt left out if my things weren't packaged new from a department store. Happiness is INDEED those snippets of life, those moments... that is what makes them special and lovely to look back on. Something in your life that stands out.
A truly heartwarming story.
you're absolutely right, no matter it's not new, if it makes you happy that's what matters, thank you very much for reading, have a merry Christmas
