It had been a tough year for my family.Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered (撒) presents, she would sigh and warn us, “There won't be as much for Christmas this year.Try not to be disappointed.” Christmas had traditionally been a time for my parents to spoil us.
In years past, the presents would pile up and spill out from under the tree, taking over the living room.I had heard the phrase “giving is better than receiving”， but thought that whoever had said that must have been out of their mind.Getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason why I couldn't get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready.We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly.We made weak attempts to wait and watch while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed we lost our self-control.
“Here's another one for you，” said Mom as she handed me a package.I looked at it, confused.Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one.But it had not been mine.It was my mom's.A new label had been put on it, with my name written in my mother's handwriting.
“Mom, I can't ...”
参考范文：
I was stopped by my mother's eager, joyful look.“Let's see what it is, honey.Hurry and open it.” It was a blow dryer.Though this may seem but a simple gift, to me it was so much more.Being an eleven-year-old girl, I was stunned.In my world, where receiving largely outweighed giving, my mom's act of selflessness was incomprehensible.It was a huge act.Tears filled my eyes and I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to give up her Christmas so I could have a few more presents.

My birthday present came in the mail a little early this year and my children are the sweethearts.They let me go ahead and open it.It was a new record player to play my old records on.I set it up in my bedroom.It looked like a black briefcase but it had speakers built into the sides.I went over to the record collection that I had kept since childhood and pulled out a 35-year-old record.
I placed it gently on the record player.I pushed on the power button. Then I carefully picked up the needle and placed it on the spinning (旋转) record.Then the sweet sound of music flowed from the record player into my ears and down to my soul.It was one of those moments of pure joy that makes life so wonderful.I closed my eyes and danced to the sound.In my mind I was fourteen years old again, singing and dancing to the music in my mom's living room.
I opened my eyes again and smiled.My young puppy, however, jumped up and down around my feet and barked happily while I danced with delight to the sweet sounds coming from my birthday present.
I have been thankful for so many sweet sounds in my life.I have heard the first birds singing in the spring.I have heard the wind whistling through the trees.I have heard my newborn babies' first cries.I have heard children laughing and playing.I have heard the wonderful words, “I love you.” I have heard beautiful, glorious music.I hope to keep adding the sounds of my own love, laughter, kindness, and joy to them too.I hope to do all I can to make this earth sound a little more beautiful.May you do so as well.

It had been a tough year for my family.Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered (撒) presents, she would sigh and warn us, “There won't be as much for Christmas this year.Try not to be disappointed.” Christmas had traditionally been a time for my parents to spoil us.In years past, the presents would pile up and spill out from under the tree, taking over the living room.I had heard the phrase “giving is better than receiving”， but thought that whoever had said that must have been out of their mind.Getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason why I couldn't get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready.We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly.We made weak attempts to wait and watch while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed we lost our self control.
“Here's another one for you，” said Mom as she handed me a package.I looked at it, confused.Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one.But it had not been mine.It was my mom's.A new label had been put on it, with my name written in my mother's handwriting.
“Mom, I can't ...”

I was stopped by my mother's eager, joyful look.
