　　Several years ago, I lived in New York and worked for an airline while my family was in Alabama, so I never got back home for Christmas.But one Christmas was different.I had the whole day off, and I spent Christmas Eve with my superior, Mr.Green, and his family.When Christmas morning came, I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face."Hi，" a little boy whispered.I got downstairs just in time to see the little boys' faces as they looked at the pocket Santa Claus (圣诞老人) had left them.At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys, which showed their deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus.When their inspection had been completed, the two boys dragged everything into the centre of the living room.

Delight flooded the room.As their mother began giving out gifts, I wondered what gift I would receive.The children were happily opening packages, but I had received not a single one.At that moment, the younger boy passed me a box, saying, "Jack, it is a gift from Santa Claus for me.But he won't mind my giving it to you, right？" I smiled, knowing the gift was the one I put in the stocking.I thanked him and gave him a big hug.
