Question

　　 “Jingle bells,　jingle bells,　jingle all the way...”goes the popular Christmas tune.　With the song in my head,　I felt a bit sorry for myself.　Instead of rushing back and forth across a freezing school campus,　I could have had a cozy Christmas dinner at home or enjoyed the fabulous fireworks lighting up campus at night.　But this Christmas would not be celebrated as usual.?

　　 One month ago,　all six girls in my dormitory(including me) had made detailed plans for a more－exciting－than－ever Christmas holiday.　But　one day we received an unusual mission:(?).The children would perform on stage while volunteers offered food to the spectators(观众) and collect some money for the organization.?

　　 Naturally,　we were supposed to support the idea wholeheartedly,　and we did.　But wait—　　　　　　　　　　!This meant that all our original Christmas plans would have to be set aside.?

　　 However,　we took the plunge into preparations for the party.　We spared no effort in organizing,　designing,　propagandizing,　making contacts with the potential sponsors,　negotiating and so on.　We went through thick and thin and finally made it,　though with a bit of reluctant.?

　　 Finally,　Christmas Eve arrived.　As I dragged myself into the auditorium after another day of hard work,　I detected the notes of a beautiful Christmas song that immediately filled me with happiness.　I looked to find the source of the song—it was a group of children singing on stage.　Though disabled,　they appeared extraordinarily earnest and sincere in front of the audience.　Everyone attending was deeply moved by the sight.　People wanted to donate some money or show their support.　The performers earned recognition and respect from all of us.?

　　 At that point,　I found all that I had done in the one－month time was worthwhile.　And all the volunteers who had been participating in this Christmas party shared the same feeling:　the true meaning of Christmas was giving and receiving love from one another.?

　　 1．Use not more than 20 words to figure out our mission.?
