The spirit of Christmas

TIFFANY WAS A VERY LUCKY GIRL. Her family was very rich. Every Christmas she got many, many presents. She got everything she asked for and much, much more. However, Tiffany wasn’t happy. Christmas wasn’t so much fun anymore. She always knew before Christmas morning what her presents would be. Starting right after Thanks giving, Tiffany often heard stories about the spirit of Christmas on TV and the radio. These stories always talked about how Christmas made people feel happy and friendly toward everyone.  But Tiffany never felt this way.

One day she asked her best friend, Heather,“What is the spirit of Christmas?  I know my mom and dad love me and give me everything I ever want, but I’m not happy.  Christmas makes me feel sad.”

 Heather said, “Tiffany, why don’t you come with me to the orphanage in town. We can volunteer our help. We can help feed the babies and do whatever else is needed. Maybe this will make you feel better.”

“I don’t see how helping out at an orphanage can make me feel better. But it you want me to go with you, I will.”

The next day after school the two girls walked to the orphanage. Tiffany didn’t like the smell of the orphanage. It didn’t smell like Christmas without a real Christmas tree.  In fact, the orphanage didn’t have a real Christmas tree at all. It just had a tree drawn on paper that someone put on the wall. The manager asked Heather and Tiffany to help the children make Christmas decorations for the tree. They were coloring paper balls and stars to put on the paper Christmas tree. Tiffany helped a little boy, Jason, whose hair wasn’t combed and whose trousers were too short for him. His shirt was old and had a hole in it. As they were coloring together, Tiffany tried to be as helpful as possible. She helped him pick out the colors and draw pretty pictures on his balls and stars. Together they made 10 balls and stars. “Wow, look how many balls and stars we made together, Jason, you are a good artist!  I think we are finished now, don’t you?”

Jason took one more star and said, “No, I have one more to make.” He took his time and colored the last star very carefully. He took his time and colored the last star very carefully. He drew a beautiful picture of an angel on it.

“That is the most beautiful of all,” said Tiffany.

“It’s for you because you so patiently helped me,” replied Jason.
