I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was  31  the teddy bears beside her father  32  she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokémon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money in his hand.  33 , it seemed to add up to five dollars at most. He was with his father as well, and kept  34  the Pokémon video games. Each time he showed one to his father, his father  35  his head, “No”.

Rather  36 , the boy gave up the video games and chose a picture book  37 . After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokémon video games. She excitedly picked up one   38  on top of the others, and raced down toward the check-out. I picked up my purchases(購買物) and  39  the girl and her father.

Then much to her  40 , the little boy and his father got in line  41  her and me. After the video was paid for and bagged, the little girl  42  it back to the cashier(收銀員) and said something secret to her. The cashier smiled and put the  43  under the counter(柜臺). I was putting things in my bag when the little boy  44  the cashier. The cashier said, “Congratulations, you’re my hundredth customer today, and you win a(n)  45 !” and she handed the boy the Pokémon game. The boy could only stood there  46 . It was, he said,  47  what he had wanted! The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and sweetest smile on her face I have  48  seen in my life.

I suddenly understood that the world is not  49  into the strong who care and the weak who are  50 . We must each in turn care and be cared.

One of my fondest Christmas memories was also one of our family’s bleakest（最令人沮喪的）.We were just little kids, and on Christmas Day mom   us all around her to tell us,     , that there would be no presents because all we really wanted was to     for our daddy. He was very sick. I don’t remember anything else except four little girls surrounding my mother, crying       a miracle（奇跡）

  At that very moment, someone      loudly on the door.      Behind him was a merry group of soldiers from the Army base where my father     as a minister. News had     that we were in trouble, and his colleagues knew we needed some      .

  With all the excitement ,even my dad      in a blanket to keep warm , came down and sat in front of a roaring fire in our room to watch his children be      by good Samaritans（樂善好施的人）. The presents were unwrapped, and we girls       packages and found a doll each and four board games.

  What is       to me is that I don’t even remember what sickness my father was suffering from.I      remember an evening of laughter and      There were no expensive toys but priceless moments of friendship and fun given by young men who knew that a family was having a(n) rough time . They gave their time and their attention to little children who needed to laugh.

  The most important thing in life aren’t things. And what about the true spirit of holidays? I hope we all are able to remember a thing about the holidays that stirs(攪動)our heart , that isn’t really a thing at all, but the smile on a child’s face because we take a moment to hug or wipe away a tear.
