  As a single parent of four children, money was always tight.It was Christmas time, and although there wasn't money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party.But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas   1  

  They planned weeks ahead of time, asking   2   what they wanted for Christmas.luckily, I have saved $120 for   3   to share by all five of us.

  The big   4   arrived.I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and   5   them to look for gifts of about four dollars each.Then everyone scattered(散开).We had two hours to shop.Then we would   6   back at the “ Santa's Workshop.”

  Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits   7   my younger daughter, Tina, who was unusual   8  .She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies-fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn't say anything   9   we got home.I called her into my bedroom and closed the door,   10   to be angry again.This is what she told me:

  “ I was looking   11   thinking of what to buy, and I   12   to read the title cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old.And all she   13   for Christmas was a doll.So I took the card off the tree and   14   the doll for her.We have so much and she doesn't have anything.”

  I never felt so   15   as I did that day.

  Hello Sandy,

  We have just returned from our holiday.we went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors.This is a beautiful place.It is a natural park.There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills,miles of grassland with no people,just sheep and birds.

  Edward,who had just come out of hospital,could not walk as far as he used to.However this meant that we walked in the mornings,and then stopped at a care for lunch,each day,before returning to the place where we lived in.Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon,while the ladies went for another walk.Very pleasant!

  I have taken lots of photos from the place we lived in,across the valley(峡谷) below us,ot the morning sunrise,and the mist in the valley.Also,in England,the old steam powered trains(蒸汽火车) are very popular.I have taken many photos of the train and from it.

  Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter.It is very early(We usually expect snow in January).It rained all day,then snowed in the evening.Today We have bright sunshine!

  Both Jenny and I are well.I don't know if I told you,in the last e-mail.that Jenny is now working in a hotel.Although she has to work hard,people there are nice and she is enjoying the work.

  Please write to us to tell us your news.

  Yours,

  Victor
