Christmas was almost a month away but Jess wasn’t really looking forward to celebrate it with his family. He didn’t really spent much time with his family during this festival. Instead, he spent more time with Leslie. He enjoyed her company very much. Jess desperately wanted to give Leslie something for Christmas but didn’t know what. In the bus, as he was gazing out the window, he saw a sign saying “Free Puppies”. He alighted at that stop and took one. That afternoon, he told Leslie to meet him so that he could give her the puppy. There was no mistaking the delight in Leslie’s eyes when she saw the gift. It was indeed a present that Jess could be proud of. Later that afternoon, Leslie gave Jess his present. She didn’t know how proud and good she made him feel, that the rest of Christmas didn’t matter because that day had been so good. When he got home, he didn’t even bothered when the presents were to be opened as the glow of that afternoon stayed with him. The next present he received was a racing-car set by his father. He liked it as he knew his father had put more money into it than he should have. Jess soon felt the spirit of Christmas again.
