I do not need a calendar to tell me when it is winter. All I need is my nose. When I wake up in the morning and smell the tasty treats my mom is cooking downstairs, I know winter has arrived.
The first one is the smell of chocolate. During the holiday season (from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day) my mother makes her special hot chocolate. She always adds a peppermint candy cane (薄荷味拐棍糖) to the drink and tops it with cream.
The hot chocolate gets me out of bed, but it is my mother’s chocolate fudge (软糕) that makes me run downstairs. It is a thick chunk (块) of chocolate that tastes like heaven. My mother adds nuts. That gives it more texture (质感).
But my mother isn’t done yet. She also makes a treat she calls “window panes (窗玻璃)”. She takes a few different colored marshmallows (棉花糖) and melts them together with chocolate. The final product looks like a colorful church window, so we call it “window panes”.
These tasty holiday treats are usually eaten after a meal as a dessert. But don’t tell Santa Claus because I secretly eat them all day long.

How old was I? I can’t remember. Maybe I was only 10. It was the first 16 without my father because he was away for something. He left me to fill that sad place in my mother’s heart. It was the Christmas when I stopped being a 17 and tried to play Father Christmas myself. I really wanted to make it happy and bright again. It was the Christmas of the 18 .
Mom first saw the coat at Tobias, a nice 19 shop in our town’s little shopping mall. It was dark green. And it was a 20 , heavy, wool dress coat. Mom pulled it out from the rack(架) and held it up. “Long enough,” she said in a low voice and 21 .
“I need a new coat,” Mom smiled before the mirror. She looked good on any clothes, 22 this coat suited her much better. She looked at the 23 , then hung the coat back on the rack, standing there once more to 24
Eighty-seven dollars. But I decided to buy it for her. As we moved on 25 the mall, I found some excuse to return and asked one of the Tobias ladies to 26 the coat.
I helped clean every yard(庭院) in our neighbourhood—some yards twice, and soon I got the coat. The store ladies helped me put it in their biggest 27 with bright blue paper and thick silver ribbon(丝带). I don’t remember 28 I got it home, but I can still feel the wonderful 29 and pride that filled me. I would imagine the big space which the box would take up under our tree. Here it was—joy, peace and 30 —all in the box, waiting for Mom’s surprise.
