When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes (通行证) posted. 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 beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (装饰物) shining against the green of a pine.
“Where did it come from？” I asked.
“I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when you called--- oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…”
The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly (难看地) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with pleasant smell of Christmas.
“It’s not like the ones you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look. But I couldn’t be picky.”
“Don’t worry, ” I told her. “It’s perfect.”
It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.

After finals，I was ready to move out．It wasn't too hard for me，but for a lot of my friends，it was a big event．After packing my suitcase and helping my friends move，it was time to say goodbye．I had reached the end of my first year in the university!

A friend from Chinese Taipei who is studying in Washington D．C．came to visit，so my brother and I took him sightseeing．But these were not this month's highlights．The high point was coming back home，a moment I'd been expecting since the day I left．

I arrived home early on the morning of May 15th．When I saw my parents，I gave them a big hug and kiss．Being at home with my parents，standing on this land，and feeling the humid and hot air，I knew I was home．The first thing I did was to go to Mei Mei for a big breakfast．It was so much better than the school cafeteria（自助餐厅）! Mei& Mei was just a start．There are so many foods I have to eat and so many friends I want to see．

The hot air is burning my face and the sweat（汗） is evaporating from my skin．I love this feeling．This is where I belong．
