history: I felt so bad when I ate all of the Christmas cookies I baked. I didn't save any for my neighbors. They were just so good! When I baked Christmas cookies last year I meant to bring some to my neighbors. But I had to eat a few first.
current: Oh, no.  I think I see where this is headed.  
next: Well a few turned into a few more and before I knew it there were none left to share. I felt so bad. Next Christmas I will make up for it.
