It’s just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree．No name, to 36　 ．It has peeked (looked quickly)through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years or so．

　　　 It all began because my husband Mike　 37 Christmas－oh, out the true meaning of Christmas, but the 38　 aspects of it－ overspending and the frantic（匆忙地） running around at the last minute to get gifts because you couldn't think of anything else. So, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters and ties and reach for something 　 39 just for Mike.

　　　 The inspiration came in an 　40 way. Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team of mostly black kids sponsored by a church. These young men, dressed in ragged sneakers,　 41 a sharp contrast to our boys in their nice uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes. As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without helmets, a luxury that they obviously couldn’t　 42　 . Well, we thoroughly defeated them and took every weight class. Mike shook his head 43　 , "I wish just one of them could have won," he said. "They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.1"

　　　 Mike loved kids and he knew them. That's when the 　44　 for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local 　45　 goods store and bought wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously（慝名） to the church. On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was my gift from him. His 　46 was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and in 　47　 years.
