As a single parent of four children, money was always tight.It was Christmas time, and although there wasn't money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party.But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas 1 .
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking 2 what they wanted for Christmas.luckily, I have saved $120 for 3 to share by all five of us.
The big 4 arrived.I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 5 them to look for gifts of about four dollars each.Then everyone scattered(散開(kāi)).We had two hours to shop.Then we would 6 back at the “ Santa's Workshop.”
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits 7 my younger daughter, Tina, who was unusual 8 .She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies-fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn't say anything 9 we got home.I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, 10 to be angry again.This is what she told me:
“ I was looking 11 thinking of what to buy, and I 12 to read the title cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old.And all she 13 for Christmas was a doll.So I took the card off the tree and 14 the doll for her.We have so much and she doesn't have anything.”
I never felt so 15 as I did that day.
