Dear Abby Letters Show Holiday Worries and Loneliness
A collection of Dear Abby exchanges on gift guilt and scheming to cover misdeeds with gentian violet powder to create a thief tale, a widow's loneliness and aging invisibility, and a critique on society's focus on wealth over character. Absent sisterly generosity contrasts with Aunt Edna’s forgetful gift, while a 74 year old vent discusses neglect and the state of aging in society.

It playfully argues many still feel young for practical purposes.
