In the small town where we lived,life had a certain rhythm,and the festival season was full of ritual(仪式).But this particular year,my daughter,Tania,changed all that.
Every day for two weeks before Christmas,unable to contain her excitement,she repeatedly said,"You'll never guess,hut you're going to love what we got you for Christmas!"She was determined that I should be impressed.
On the 24th,my wife and I were asked to join the kids for some last-minute shopping.We chose to stay at home.Four hours later,the kids were back at the door,shopping mission completed.
"We have your gift out in the car,Dad,"Tania exclaimed,"and it's getting cold!"
We were then ordered to leave the room.No,not just to another room,but upstairs and out of sight.So,obediently,we went upstairs.
A few minutes later,we heard them calling,"Okay,you can come down now!"
Immediately,my excited daughter said,"Open it now!"
By now,my daughter was about to explode with excitement,and I,too,had passed the stage of mildly curious,feeling somewhere between inquisitive(好奇的)and demanding.

I thought,I can't believe my eyes!Perhaps I am delusional(妄想的)!This is just not possible!The flash of my daughter's camera went off,when rising up out of that heap of blankets and wrapping me in an enormous hear hug was none other than my six-foot-two (1.89 meters),175 pound (79 kilograms) son Greg,home for Christmas for the first time in 19 years!
