A:What's your favorite Christmas memory,Ann?
B:My favorite Christmas was the one last year.My dad had been away for three months who worked in (57)another city.Mum and I were very sad,because he dad called and told us that he wouldn't come home for Christmas.Mum and I invited our grandparents and we had dinner together.In the evening,we called dad and talked (58)for a long time.I could hear that dad was very sad,too,though he tried to sound happy.
A:That doesn't (59)sound like a good Christmas at all.Why do you say that it's your favorite Christmas?
B:Well,because of what happened later.My dad returned in March.I was in school the day he arrived,and mum hadn't told me that he was coming.When I got home from school,our house was decorated(装饰)with Christmas lights and even some (60)snow.I ran into the house and there was a big Christmas tree in the living room.Mum and Dad were waiting for me and we had a great Christmas party that evening.That was the best Christmas (61)even though it wasn't really Christmas at all.
A:Now I understand what you mean when you say that Christmas is not just about getting gifts.
