The night is clear and the air is crisp. 31 falls gently on the ground. Tonight is Christmas Eve. Off in the 32 I hear the voice of approaching carolers (唱圣歌者). I quickly close the door 33 the sounds of Christmas. Tonight is just too 34 as I think of “Christmas Without Them”.
Is Christmas ever the same when we are without our 35 ones? The traditions I have loved since childhood have changed into something new and
36 . As an adult, I find myself with feelings of a child, frightened and
37 . I have no parent to 38 me. Tears flow and I feel my heart
39 . Sometimes, I find myself standing in the midst (在…当中) of
40 with tears running down my cheeks. I spot the shoppers who try not to stare, while others, forgetting they are strangers, stop to offer a smile of understanding. I begin to realize I am not alone with these types of feelings. All of a sudden the 41 come flooding in.
How 42 I am to have such wonderful memories of my wonderful
43 and the times we shared together. Just as 44 as the memories brought tears the same memories appeared again to spread 45 . Memories have a way of making the 46 bearable (可忍受的). I remember. I smile.
My thoughts are once again returned to the children. Their sounds of singing grow 47 . I open my door to find their half-frozen faces, smiling 48
at me.
Christmas without them may never be the same, but, from out of the darkness
49 memories flood my heart. I can almost hear my parents’ voices telling me the story of this most holy night. Like a message from above, I listen as the
50 sing, “Sleep in heavenly peace”.
