【解析】短文大意：本文描述了美国圣诞节期间人们买礼物、用灯装饰的房屋和建筑物的美丽，以及圣诞节是如何开始的。

【1】句意：他们从一个商店到另一商店时，都尽力保持暖和。keep系动词，保持，后跟形容词；keep warm保暖。try to＋动词原形。故填：keep。

【2】句意：商店里有许多孩。child名词，孩子；children名词复数，孩子们。many+名词复数。 故填：children。

【3】句意：他们看着玩具，和一个叫圣诞老人的人谈话。look动词，看；looking现在分词。本句表示动作正在进行，使用现在进行时态：be+v-ing。故填：looking。

【4】句意：有时玩具太贵了，所以孩子们没有足够的钱买。expensive形容词，贵的；太“贵”，所以没有足够的钱去买。故填：expensive。

【5】句意：但现在是冬天，一切都是白色的。winter名词，冬天；根据语境可知是指“冬天”。故填：winter。
