An Extraordinary Gift For Christmas

An extraordinary gift for Christmas

Introduction

It was Christmas, a source of joy and illusion for many. It did not snow, but the north wind blew gently, massaging all part of the body that would not have been covered with scarves and jackets. Most people were opening a gift after another and sharing happiness, but I don’t. I was in front of an immense stack of notes, typing without stopping on my computer. In solitude my first vacation as a university student passed, eating noodles, while everyone fed on nougat and laughter.

Developing

There were two packages in front of my door, one on top of the other, waiting for me to bring them to my home and give them shelter. Two days had passed there, but being immersed in the hell of the university and with stress by engulfing, I was impossible for me to have realized before. I don’t know what made me stop and look what they hid, but I did. They came from somewhere that was nothing familiar to me.

My first reaction was to take each box with one hand and head towards the garbage container. Why did I take those packages? I had much more important things to do and I couldn’t waste time. I did not remember any request that I had made (after all, I have always been more of physical stores) or a relative who would have sent me something. Suddenly what the package could actually be.

I don’t know how I could not remember the exchange of Christmas gifts that had acted a few weeks. Distrustful, I returned to the apartment, opened the packages and proceeded to look at what was in the big box.

A stuffed animal, a book and necklace were the things I found in the box. Although the stuffed animal was beautiful and the necklace was significant, I was not able to avoid rejoice when looking at the book;It was a new premiere of my favorite writer. 

I put on the necklace around my neck, I grabbed the stuffed animal with one hand and put my new book frantically to browse;I had waited for this moment for two whole months. Having seen the contents of the first box, it naturally had to look at the second box. It contained a simple envelope, with an unknown direction;He was written in permanent marker in his flap. I opened it delicately to see the letter inside;And I couldn’t help tears.

conclusion

I can’t thank you with words how happy you did to me with your gifts. My partner and my children enjoyed them very much, and you made our Christmas a little better. I had no one that Christmas, I was completely alone and the only thing I found around me were notes and tasks. That Christmas that believed it would be like any other stressful day, became a day full of illusion and joy, full of Christmas spirit and solidarity.
