It’s just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no   1  . It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years or so.

It all began because my husband Mike  2  Christmas – oh, not the true meaning of Christmas, but the   3  aspects of it – overspending and the frantic（匆忙的）running around at the last   4  to get gifts because you couldn’t think of anything else. So, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters and ties and reach for something   5  just for Mike.

The inspiration came in an   6  way. Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was   7  at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team of mostly   8  kids sponsored by a church. These young men, dressed in ragged sneakers,  9  a sharp contrast to our boys in their nice uniforms and sparkling new shoes. As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without   10  , a luxury that they obviously couldn’t   11  . Well, we thoroughly   12  them and took every weight class. Mike shook his head sadly. “I   13  just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot of   14  , but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.”

Mike loved kids and he knew them. That’s when the   15  for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local   16  goods store and bought wrestling helmets and shoes and sent them anonymously（匿名）to the   17  . On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the   18  inside telling Mike what I had done, and that was my gift for him. His   19  was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and in   20  years.
