Christmas was an exciting season for my six-year-old son. For weeks, he’d been memorizing 36 for the “Winter Ceremony” in his kindergarten class. I went to 37 their rehearsal(排演).

As I waited, students were led into the room. Each class, 38 by their teacher, sat cross-legged on the floor. Then, each group, one by one 39 to perform their song. I didn’t expect anything other than fun.

My son’s class rose to sing “Christmas Love”. Those in the front row on the center stage held up large 40 , one by one, to spell out the 41 of the song. When the class sang: “C is for Christmas,” a child would hold up the letter C, then another would hold up “H” for happy, and on and on, 42 each child was holding up a letter, presenting the 43 message, “Christmas Love”.

The performance was going 44 , until suddenly we noticed her, a small, quiet girl in the 45 row holding the letter “M” upside down-totally 46 that her letter “M” appeared as a “W”. The audience began to laugh at this little girl’s 47 . But she had no idea that they were laughing at her, so she stood tall, 48 holding her “W”. 49 many teachers tried to quiet the children, the 50 continued until the last letter was raised, and we all saw it together. A 51 came over the audience and eyes began to 52 . In that instant we understood the 53 why we were there, and even though it was such a busy holiday, there was a(n) 54 for celebrating Christmas. When the 55 letter was held high, the message read loud and clear: “ CHRIST WAS LOVE”. And I believe that this is why Christmas is so important.
