I knew I was not supposed to be quite so excited at Christmas. I was too____126____ for that. At age eleven, the eldest and my mom’s “grown up” girl, I had to keep my calm. I was in middle school after all. But every chance I got, when I was____127____, I checked each present under the tree. I read every tag and____128____ every package, guessing at the contents within. I had examined each gift so often that I could tell which present went to which person ____129____ looking at the tags.
It had been a(n)____130____ year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered presents, she would sigh and warn us, “There won’t be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed. “ Christmas had____131____ been a time for my parents to spoil(宠爱)us. In years past, the presents would occupy the living room. I had heard the phrase “giving is better than receiving”, but getting presents was the whole____132____! It was the reason I couldn’t go 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 had to wait and____133____ while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed we lost our____134____.
“Here’s another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, _____135_____. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I_____136_____ this one. It was for my mom!
It was a blow dryer. _____137_____ this may seem only a simple gift, to me it was so much more. But, in my world, where receiving was more important than giving, mom’s act of selflessness was difficult to_____138_____. I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to do that.

There are two things I hate about this time of year: out-of-tune caroling(圣诞颂歌)and bad Christmas cards. Or rather, holiday cards—bad taste isn’t limited to Christmas.
Why? I’ll get to that. But first, a little ___141___ . In the winter of 1843, Sir Henry Cole, a well-known English activist who helped reform the British postal system, ___142___ himself with a very large stack(堆)of letters and very little time. Rather than spend his days ___143___ over each response, Cole ___144___ a new idea: Why not send a small, decorated card instead? He enlisted the help of a friend to create a(n) ___145___ for the front of the card and then had a London printer make a thousand copies. Cole ___146___ had to fill in the “to” and “from” lines, and—ta-da!—the first Christmas card was complete.
So there you have it, a tradition ___147___ out of laziness. And not much has changed ever since, which brings us back to my ___148___ with holiday cards.
I’m a bit of a card snob(自命高雅). I make almost all my cards by hand and take time to write at least a few ___149___ paragraphs inside each, It’s a lot of work, but there’s a big ____150____ . These are cards you save for a ____151____ day when you need a kind word. There’s a reason that it’s polite to open a card before a gift—cards should add ____152____ to a present. And, if you’re doing it right, the words themselves are a gift.
Here’s my ____153____ : Instead of sending a human-filled, photo-edited holiday card, why not mail a simple, handwritten note to those you ____154____ but haven’t spent enough time with in the past year? This little note will mean so much more to them than the ____155____ mass-produced cards.
