However, Tina still was not very happy. She always knew before Christmas morning what her presents would like. One day, she asked her best friends, Tom, “What is the spirit of Christmas? I know my mom and dad love me and give me everything I ever want, but Im not happy. Christmas makes me feel sad.” Tom said, “why dont you come with me to the orphanage in town. We can help feed the babies and do whatever is needed. Maybe this will make you feel better.” The next day they walked to the orphanage. There it did not smell like Christmas without a real Christmas tree. It just had a tree on paper that someone put on the wall. Tina and Tom helped the children to decorate the tree. Tina tried to be as helpful as possible. Together they made 10 balls and stars. “Wow, look how many balls and stars we made, Jason, you are a good artist!”Jason took one more star and said, “ I want to made one more.” He drew a beautiful picture of an angle on it. It is the most beautiful of all. “It is for you. You so patiently helped me.” Jason said to me. At that moment, Tina knew what the spirit of Christmas was. Jason had given all he had to her.
