This was my grandmother’s first Christmas without grandfather. When we reached her house, it did seem a little 1without grandfather.
Grandfather had always said the Christmas 2was the most important. So we set to work assembling（组装）the beautiful 3tree that was stored in grandfather’s closet（储藏室）. After we finished, we stepped back to 4our work. It looked wonderful. But something was 5.
“Where’s the star?” I asked. It was my grandmother’s 6. As we emptied box after box and found no star, my grandmother’s eyes 7with tears. Grandfather had given it to Grandmother fifty years ago. Now, on her first Christmas without 8, the star was gone, too.
“Let’s 9in the closet where the tree was,” my sister Donna said. We 10under beds and over shelves, inside and outside 11we had exhausted every possibility. We could see Grandmother was 12, although she tried not to show it. By now, it was 13outside, and time for bed, as Santa would soon be here.
The next morning, my sisters and I 14early to see what Santa had left under the tree. After breakfast, the family sat together to 15presents. “The last gift is to Grandmother from Grandfather.” Father said, in a puzzled voice.
“From who?” There was 16 in my grandmother’s voice.
“I found that 17in the closet when we got the tree down,” Mother explained.
My grandmother opened it. Her face lit up when she pulled out a(n) 18 golden star. There was a note attached. Her voice trembled（颤抖）as she read it:
Don’t be 19 with me, dear. I broke your star while putting away the tree. Thought it was time for a new one, I hope it brings you as much 20 as the first one. Merry Christmas.1.
