    "Happy New Year，papa!"The sitting-room doors were thrown open，and a sweet little girl flashed in.Smiles played around her cherry lips，and her eyes were dancing with sunny light.
    "Happy New Year，my sweet one!"responded Mr.Edgar. "May all your New Years be happy，"he added，and with a blessing in his heart.
    Little Ellen laid her head against her father's breast.To her it was a Happy New Year's morning，but it was not so with Mr.Edgar，a successful businessman.He was tired of the plot in the business world.He was not happy at all! "For years，"he said to himself，"I have been pursuing the means of happiness，yet happiness itself seems to be still farther in the distance.""Why am I not happy？"But the answer was not given.
    After breakfast，Mr.Edgar left home and went to his company.On his way，he noticed a lovely child around the same age as his daughter playing in the yard.Her beauty，which had in it something of innocence （天真），impressed him so deeply that he turned to gain a second look.With the girl was a father and he happened to be Abraham James，who owed（欠） money to Mr.Edgar from their business dealings.Abraham couldn't meet his responsibilities to Mr.Edgar，and as a result，Mr.Edgar said some unkind words.Mr.Edgar had an appointment with a lawyer（律師） today，preparing to charge him and ask for money he was owed.While the money wasn't a significant amount for Mr.Edgar，it meant a lot to Abraham James，who planned to sell his house to come up with the money.
    As Mr.Edgar continued on his way，he couldn't forget the cheerful face of the child.Suddenly，he remembered his own daughter's smiling face and sweet morning greeting.He thought，"She must also wish her Daddy a happy New Year.If her Dad isn't happy，will she still wear that innocent smile on her face？"He seemed to have found the way to be happy.

   At the center of the mall was the perfect Santa with a gentle manner and a real white beard.My six -year-old granddaughter，Leah，jumped from foot to foot as we waited in line for her turn to sit on his lap.
   "I don't know what to say，"Leah said，raising her neck around the kids in front of her.
   "Sure you do，"her mother，Lcanne，said."It's Santa.He's already your friend.You'll do just fine."
   "He'll ask you what you want for Christmas."I said."And you just tell him."
   We'd gone over and over the toys she'd ask for.Her mother didn't want surprises!Leah repeated the list.But a minute later，she inserted new toys she'd just spotted at the mall.
   "I've got an idea，"said Leanne，digging into her purse as the line inched（緩慢移動） forward."Let's write down your requests so you won't forget them."I couldn't help but laugh.Going to see Santa was such an important appointment for a six-year-old.No child should have any worries bigger than that.But the night before，on the news，I'd seen a village in the Middle East that had come under fire.Many of the wounded were children just like our Leah.Looking around the mall full of magical decorations and happy shoppers I felt safe，as safe as anyone could be.Everyone in the world should have that kind of security，especially at Christmas.
   "Okay，"Leanne said."Now you've got everything you want written down here.If you get nervous you can just give the note to Santa."
   Leah nodded and took the list.She read out loud，"A Chia Pet，Moon Sand and Aquadoodle."
   "Why don't you add a fourth request，Leah，"I heard myself say."Ask for peace on Earth."My daughter looked a little surprised by my suggestion.
   "What's peace on Earth，Grandpa？"Leah asked.
   "Peace on Earth means all the people in the world would get along.That's the true meaning of Christmas."Leah nodded seriously."Yes，"she agreed.

Paragraph 1：Finally we reached the head of the line.______
Paragraph2：The coming days were filled with thrilling expectation.______

3．    Cold December wind passed right through my worn coat.I might have wished to be at home，but those days it wasn't much warmer there than it was standing at the bus stop.Mama had written a letter to the electric company explaining that we were late paying our bill because my sister was ill and Daddy had been laid off，but the power was cut off anyway.That's why we went to town to pay the bill in person.
   I sat close to Buddy Earl for warmth on the bus when it finally showed up.The walk to the electric company office from the bus stop was only a couple of blocks，but it was a relief to get inside.
   After settling the bill Mama brought us over to Rich's department store.There was Santa in a big wooden chair. "You two go to talk to him，" she said. "Just don't expect to get all you ask for." Buddy Earl and I joined the line of children waiting，and Mama sat on a bench nearby.
   Then Santa started talking with us and asked us what we wanted.Santa reached in his pocket，pulled out a notepad and scribbled something with a pencil. "Is your mother with you two？" he asked.I pointed to the bench. "That's our mother over there.She's waiting for us to finish." Santa lifted Buddy Earl off his knee. "Could you ask her to come and talk tome？" he said.
   Later，Mama and Santa talked for a few minutes.Santa took a couple more notes.Then Mama brought us home.We didn't dare ask about their private conversation.Christmas morning Mama and Daddy gathered us around our tree to give thanks for all we had.There were no toys from Santa under the tree.No presents at all，really.But that was okay，especially since we had electricity again.I felt pretty good as I took my seat at the kitchen table.
