Christmas is no fun when you're poor.Twenty years ago I was a young, (struggle),substitute(替补) teacher whose calls into work had been few.Money was tight, bills were due my wife and I couldn't even afford
(get)Christmas gifts for each other.The only gifts we could get for our children were a few soft toys that I had found
(sell)at half price in the supermarket.I opened the door and brought in the gifts I
(hide) in our old car's trunk.Then I handed them to my son and daughter.I watched with a sad smile as they did
best to tear off the wrapping(包装) paper.As they pulled out their toys, though, I noticed their faces lit
and they jumped up and down.My daughter
(happy) hugged her toy and then hugged her Mom and me as well.I laughed as I watched my children play with their toys for_
_ (hour), and Thanked God for the.
_ (great) bifilar ever been given.Till today I still treasure
gift of pure love that my son and daughter gave me that day.
