Miguel gathered his guitar and all the Ernesto de la Cruz albums he could carry and rushed down from the rooftop. His family surrounded him when he reached the yard.

Abuelita’s eyes darted from the guitar to the albums. “What is all this?” she said. “You keep secrets from your own family?”

“It’s all that time he spends in the plaza,” Tio Berto said.

“Fills his head with crazy fantasies,” Tia Gloria added.

“It’s not a fantasy (幻想)!” Miguel protested. He handed his father the old photograph of Mama Imelda, Coco, and the unidentified (未知身份的) man and pointed to the guitar. “That man was Ernesto de la Cruz! The greatest musician of all time!”

“We’ve never known anything about this man. But whoever he was, he still left his family,” Miguel’s father said. “This is no future for my son.”

“But, Papa, you told me to look to the ofrenda (灵坛). You said my family would guide me! Well, Ernesto de la Cruz is my family! I’m supposed to play music!”

“Never! That man’s music was a curse (诅咒)! I will not allow it!” Abuelita said, raising her voice.

“You will listen to your family. No more music,” added Miguel’s father.

“Just listen to me play – ” “End of argument,” Papa said.

Miguel thought they’d change their minds if they heard him play. He lifted his guitar and prepared to strum, but Abuelita snatched it from his hands. She pointed to the photo. “You want to end up like that man? Forgotten? Left off your family’s ofrenda?”

“I don’t care if I’m on some stupid ofrenda!” The words burst out before Miguel could stop them. He couldn’t take them back, even though he wanted to.

The family gasped. Abuelita’s brow hardened. She raised the guitar in the air.

“No!” Miguel cried.

“Mama,” Miguel’s dad said just as Abuelita smashed (撞击) the guitar against the ground.

“There! No guitar, no music,” she said.

The whole family was silent as Miguel stared at his guitar, shattered into a hundred pieces on the ground. Miguel couldn’t move — he felt like someone had smashed him to pieces.

Spiff was an elf（精灵）living at the North Pole. He worked hard all year to make toys. When autumn arrived, Spiff got very busy in Santa's workshop. He had to work very late into the night to make sure the toys would be ready for Christmas Eve.

One day, Spiff looked at pictures of Florida on the Internet after lunch. "I really need a vacation," Spiff said. Sif's friend Blip looked at the computer screen. "Why would you want to go to Florida?" he asked. "I would like to see what Christmas is like in a place where it doesn't snow. "It snows everywhere on Christmas," said Blip, "I don't think that's true," said Spiff. "They have palm trees in Florida, and palm trees（棕榈树）only grow in warm places. " I don't believe you. Prove（证明）it! "said Blip." "I will! "

On Christmas Eve, Spiff climbed into a bag full of toys and took a ride on Santa's sleigh（雪橇）. Spiff looked out of the bag as Santa's sleigh flew high. Soon they arrived in Florida.
