Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts-running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry or a pair of gloves for Grandma, spending money is nothing. I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The new idea came in an unusual way.Our son Kevin, was wrestling (摔跤) at the junior level. And shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored (赞助) by an inner-city church. Our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes while the their youngsters were dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings（带子）seemed to be the only thing holding them together.As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets(头盔) to protect their heads. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said, “Losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Thats when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to the inner-city church without leaving my name.On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.16.
