Friends are very important in our everyday life. Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Certainly, sometimes we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

No two people are just the same. Friends sometimes don’t get on well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make it up and become friends again.

Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much but we can call them or write to them. We can also make new friends. It is encouraging to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.

There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? Friends can make us feel happy. Being happy helps you stay well. If someone cares about you, you will take better care of yourself.

Christmas is for giving and sharing, for getting together with family and friends. But mostly it"s for love. I had not believed this until a boy gave me a wonderful gift one Christmas.

Without parents, Brian lived with his mean aunt. I had not noticed him until he began to clean up the room after school, at risk of being punished by his aunt. During those hours, Brian spoke mostly of his mother, a kind, gentle, loving woman who always spent time with him.

As Christmas came near, however, Brian didn’t stay after school. I looked forward to his coming. One afternoon, I stopped him and told him how I missed him.I saw his eyes lit up. I explained how he had been my best helper and this made him more excited. "I was making you a surprise.It"s for Christmas." He became embarrassed and ran away.

Finally came the last school day before Christmas. Brian entered the room with his hands hiding something behind. "I have a present for you." He hold out his hands, and a tiny wooden box was lying there.

"It"s beautiful, Brian. Let’s see what’s in it."

"Oh, you can"t see what’s in it," he said," and you can"t touch it, but mother always said it makes you feel good all the time, warm on cold nights, and safe when you’re alone.”

I looked into the empty box. "Brian, what will make me feel so good?"

"It"s love,and mother always said it"s best when you give it away.

Yes, Christmas is for celebrations, songs and gifts. But mostly, Christmas is for love. So now I still keep the small box.
