When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in a new soldier school in Ashland and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. On the afternoon of December 23 we were told some of us would have three-day holidays. I was one of the lucky soldiers.
It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see over her, into the corner of the living-room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colours, shining in the green of the tree.
“Where did it come from?” I asked.
“I asked the gate boy to cut it, ”my mother said, “I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but when called? Oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…”
The tree was almost as tall as the room, and the Tree Top Star was in its place. A few branches reached about a little disorderly at the side, I thought, and there was a big bare branch showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with the pleasant smell of Christmas.
“It's not like the one you want to find, ” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I think the gate boy didn't know where to look for a better one. ”“Don't worry, ”I told her. “It's perfect.”
It wasn't, of course, but at the moment I understood for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.
注:wartime战争时期; branch树枝; disorderly不规则的; bare光秃的; pleasant smell令人愉快的气息; shape形状; perfect完美的
